Hi - I just want to ask some help with regards to flagging Unique and Duplicates.
below is my sample data, in excel I used '=IF(I2=I1,1,0)' how do we translate that to sas? thank you.
CUSTOMER_KEY | DidIntLoan | Uniq |
Customer A | 0 | 0 |
Customer B | 0 | 0 |
Customer B | 0 | 1 |
Customer B | 0 | 1 |
Customer C | 0 | 0 |
Customer C | 0 | 1 |
Customer D | 0 | 0 |
or just-
data want;
set have;
by CUSTOMER_KEY;
if first.CUSTOMER_KEY and last.customer_key then uniq=0;
else uniq=not first.CUSTOMER_KEY;
run;
The LAG function retrieves values from a previous observation.
please try below code
data have;
input CUSTOMER_KEY$10. DidIntLoan ;
cards;
CustomerA 0
CustomerB 0
CustomerB 0
CustomerB 0
CustomerC 0
CustomerC 0
CustomerD 0
;
data want;
set have;
by CUSTOMER_KEY;
retain cnt;
if first.CUSTOMER_KEY then cnt=1;
else cnt+1;
if cnt=1 then uniq=0;
else uniq=1;
drop cnt;
run;
data have;
input CUSTOMER_KEY$10. DidIntLoan ;
cards;
CustomerA 0
CustomerB 0
CustomerB 0
CustomerB 0
CustomerC 0
CustomerC 0
CustomerD 0
;
data want;
set have;
by CUSTOMER_KEY;
if first.CUSTOMER_KEY and last.customer_key then uniq=0;
else uniq=ifn(first.CUSTOMER_KEY,0,1);
run;
CUSTOMER_KEY | DidIntLoan | uniq |
---|---|---|
CustomerA | 0 | 0 |
CustomerB | 0 | 0 |
CustomerB | 0 | 1 |
CustomerB | 0 | 1 |
CustomerC | 0 | 0 |
CustomerC | 0 | 1 |
CustomerD | 0 | 0 |
or just-
data want;
set have;
by CUSTOMER_KEY;
if first.CUSTOMER_KEY and last.customer_key then uniq=0;
else uniq=not first.CUSTOMER_KEY;
run;
Or even shorter 🙂 haha test carefully though plz-
data want;
set have;
by CUSTOMER_KEY;
uniq=not first.CUSTOMER_KEY;
run;
