Hello. I am trying to merge two datasets. What I would like to do is full join per subject ID even though date_time from dataset 1 doesn't exisit in dataset 2;
First dataset:
| SubjectID | date_time | value1 |
| 123 | 1/1/2010 9:53 | 52.1 |
| 123 | 1/2/2010 10:31 | 21.2 |
| 123 | 1/3/2010 9:33 | 32.3 |
| 456 | 2/1/2010 9:53 | 42.2 |
| 456 | 2/2/2010 10:31 | 123.4 |
| 456 | 2/3/2010 9:33 | 47.2 |
| 456 | 2/4/2010 14:23 | 44.4 |
second dataset:
| SubjectID | date_time | value1 | value2 |
| 123 | 1/1/2010 9:53 | 52.1 | 10.2 |
| 123 | 1/2/2010 10:31 | 21.2 | 42.1 |
| 456 | 2/1/2010 9:53 | 42.2 | 44.8 |
| 456 | 2/4/2010 14:23 | 44.4 | 32.2 |
want:
| SubjectID | date_time | value1 | value2 |
| 123 | 1/1/2010 9:53 | 52.1 | 10.2 |
| 123 | 1/2/2010 10:31 | 21.2 | 42.1 |
| 123 | 1/3/2010 9:33 | 32.3 | |
| 456 | 2/1/2010 9:53 | 42.2 | 44.8 |
| 456 | 2/2/2010 10:31 | 123.4 | |
| 456 | 2/3/2010 9:33 | 47.2 | |
| 456 | 2/4/2010 14:23 | 44.4 | 32.2 |
Here's my code so far:
proc sql;
select t1.subjectid, t1.date_time, t1.value1, t2.value2
from dataset1 t1
left outer join dataset2 t2
where t2.value2 is null
any help would be greatly appreciated
