Hello how to use conditions on two columns with select when statements:
I am not getting any errors, but my results are not correct. I want to set the new variable x based on the col1 and col2 conditions using select when only. Please find my code below.
data test;
input col1 $ col2;
length x $10;
datalines;
A 1
A 1
A 2
A 3
B 1
B 2
B 3
C 1
C 1
;;
run;
data test2;
set test;
select (col1);
when (A) do;
if col2 = 1 then do;
x= 'test_A1';
end;
when (B) do;
if col2 = 3; then do;
x = 'test_B3 ';
end;
otherwise put 'other';
end;
end;
Thanks.
something like
select ;
when (col1='A' and col2 = 1 ) do;
x= 'test_A1';
end;
when (col1='B' and col2 = 3 ) do;
x = 'test_B3 ';
end;
otherwise put 'other';
end;
something like
select ;
when (col1='A' and col2 = 1 ) do;
x= 'test_A1';
end;
when (col1='B' and col2 = 3 ) do;
x = 'test_B3 ';
end;
otherwise put 'other';
end;
Thanks Peter, It worked.
