Hello All,
I'm trying to assign unique id based on the info from var1 and var2. Not sure how to do it. New variable 'id' will restart from 1 when var1 changed.
sample data:
data have;
input var1 var2;
datalines;
1 1
1 1
1 3
2 1
2 2
2 2
2 5
;
run;
Thank you!
This is why Fred Flintstone invented the FIRST. and LAST. structures for SAS data steps.
data want;
set have;
by var1 var2;
if first.var1 then id=0;
if first.var2 then id+1;
run;
