Hi,

I want to create a column based on the following rules:

it needs to look at each unique ID (there are only 2 rows per id). 

is the season for record 1 'Summer' and season for record 2 'Summer'

and are the gasyear for record 1 and record 2 the same

if so it would give a flag 'Y' else 'N'

 

I have tried coding a few options and they don't work

i tired the lag function but it doesn't work when going on to a new id 

 

thanks

data want;
    merge have(where=(recordno=1)) have(where=(recordno=2)
        rename=(season=season2 gasyear=gasyear2));
   by id;
   if season='Summer' and season2='Summer' and gasyear=gasyear2 then flag=1;
   else flag=0;
run;

Assumes the input data is properly sorted by ID, and that there really are only two records per ID.

It can be done with do until() loops:

 

data want;
flag = "Y";
do until(last.ID);
    set have; by ID;
    if season ne "Summer" then flag = "N";
    if missing(gy) then gy = gasyear;
    else if gy ne gasyear then flag = "N";
    end;
do until(last.ID);
    set have; by ID;
    output;
    end;
drop gy;
run;
