Hi there,
hoping for a data step and proc sql solution please.
C_Date and E_date represent same date, different formats. Same for Memo date and m_date
my data has records where the memo_id is duplicated for 2 records because the M_date is equal to the next_date and the c_date.Unfortunately the time stamp in e_date is not specific. So I need the memo_id to only be available for the first/earliest record.
Original:
ID | TIME | C_DATE | e_date | next_date | MEMO_TYPE | memo_date | m_date | MEMO_ID |
665 | 0 | 02-Sep-20 | 02SEP2020:00:00:00 | 03-Oct-20 | MC | 03-Oct-20 | 03OCT2020:12:56:02 | 4411047528 |
665 | 1 | 03-Oct-20 | 03OCT2020:00:00:00 | 08-Oct-20 | MC | 03-Oct-20 | 03OCT2020:12:56:02 | 4411047528 |
Outcome needed:
ID | TIME | C_DATE | e_date | next_date | MEMO_TYPE | memo_date | m_date | MEMO_ID |
665 | 0 | 02-Sep-20 | 02SEP2020:00:00:00 | 03-Oct-20 | MC | 03-Oct-20 | 03OCT2020:12:56:02 | 4411047528 |
665 | 1 | 03-Oct-20 | 03OCT2020:00:00:00 | 08-Oct-20 | . | . | . | . |
Appreciate any and all direction.
Is the data sorted by memo_ID? Or can the Memo_ID=4411047528 appear further down?
