I'm new to sas, and trying to learn. In an exercise I'm doing, I'm given ID, date, suger level in my data. i am asked to Output all observations after the first for each person to a dataset. Do i use an if then else statement?
Also, how do i output all observations for patients with only one record to a dataset
Here is my code for first which i figured. I just can not figure out the code for observations after the first:
proc import
datafile='patient2.xlsx'
dbms=xlsx replace out=patients;
sheet="Sheet1"; getnames=yes;
proc sort data=patients; by patient date;
run;
data patientsObs;
set patients; by patient Date;
if first.patient then output;
rename suger = firstobs;
proc print data=patientsObs;
run;
Hope the below helps:
/* Read the object spawner log */
data have;
input patient $ date date9. s_level;
format date date9.;

output;
