Hello , 

 

How could I select Observations (Rows) where if their Pending column ever says "YES" then output to a new dataset? I am thinking to use proc sql but also, I'm still learning as I go so I feel stuck. Below is my have data and want data tables. 

 

Have

IDTest_DatePending
TA3/29/22NO
TA3/29/22NO
TA3/29/22YES
PG3/29/22NO
PG4/5/22NO
LT4/5/22YES
LT4/5/22NO
LT4/5/22NO

 

Want 

IDTest_DatePending
TA3/29/22NO
TA3/29/22NO
TA3/29/22YES
LT4/5/22YES
LT4/5/22NO
LT4/5/22NO

From now on, please provide data as working SAS data step code (examples and instructions) and not as Excel copy and paste. Also, you would make your own typing/coding simpler if YES/NO character strings were actually 0/1 numeric values.

 

proc sql;
	create table want as select *
	from have  	
	group by id
	having sum(pending='YES')>=1;
quit;

PROC Star

This is a data step solution, using a hash object containing the only id's that have any instance of 'YES':

 

Untested, in the absence of sample data in the form of a working data step.

 

data want ;
  set have;
  if _n_=1 then do;
    declare hash ids_with_yes (dataset:'have (keep=id pending where=(pending="YES"))');
      ids_with_yes.definekey('id');
      ids_with_yes.definedata('id');
      ids_with_yes.definedone();
  end;
  if ids_with_yes.check()=0;
run;

 

--------------------------
The hash OUTPUT method will overwrite a SAS data set, but not append. That can be costly. Consider voting for Add a HASH object method which would append a hash object to an existing SAS data set

Would enabling PROC SORT to simultaneously output multiple datasets be useful? Then vote for
Allow PROC SORT to output multiple datasets

I did a test, works perfect (as usual).

Hi @rebelde52 ,

 

@PaigeMiller  and @mkeintz already gave you great solutions, so I'm adding this on just for fun.

 

data have;
input ID $	Test_Date :mmddyy8.	Pending $;
format Test_Date mmddyy10.;
cards;
TA 3/29/22 NO
TA 3/29/22 NO
TA 3/29/22 YES
PG 3/29/22 NO
PG 4/5/22 NO
LT 4/5/22 YES
LT 4/5/22 NO
LT 4/5/22 NO
;
run;
proc print;
run;

data want;
  _N_=0;
  do until(last.ID);
    set have;
    by ID notsorted;
    _N_ + Pending="YES";  
  end;

  do until(last.ID);
    set have;
    by ID notsorted;
    if _N_ then output; 
  end;
run;
proc print;
run;

{EDIT:}

One more for "lazy typers":

%macro DoW(code);
  do until(last.ID);
    set have;
    by ID notsorted;
    &code.;  
  end;
%mend;

data want;
  _N_=0;
  %DoW(_N_ + Pending="YES")  
  %DoW(if _N_ then output) 
run;
