I would like to use the Rank function in Proc sql
Getting error, when I use this code
RANK() OVER(ORDER BY t.ID DESC) as rank,
Output like this,
ID New col
10 1
10 2
10 3
23 1
25 1
45 1
50 1
50 2
65 1
Rank over and others are known as Order analytical functions and are not available in Proc SQL. But you can use proc sort and use first.variable concept to give rank
data have;
input id;
datalines;
10
10
10
23
25
45
50
50
65
;
proc sort data = have;
by id;
run;
data want;
set have;
by id;
if first.id then rank =1;
else rank+1;
run;
and then use first.ID to get the desired result in sas datastep

PROC RANK will do this as well.
The following will work using proc sql:
proc sql; create table want as select *, (select count(distinct b.weight) from sashelp.class b where b.weight <= a.weight and a.sex eq b.sex) as rank from sashelp.class a ; quit;
