Hello guys, let's assume the above is my dataset, and the "point" is the column I want to create. In this case, I wish to create the input for the "point" column starting with 0 for the first observed observation of each customer, and +1 thereafter. However, if obs_window is different, then the point will restart again for a customer.
the current code I'm using is as below:
data mydataset;
set dataset;
by cust_no;
if first.cust_no then point = 0;
else point +1;
in this case, how should I tune the above code?
I assume it is sorted by cust_no obs_window.
data mydataset;
set have;
by cust_no obs_window;
if first.obs_window then point = 0;
else point +1;
run;
