Hello,
I have a dataset with individuals that contains their balance. The individuals can appear multiple times. I would like to select the individuals that both have positive and negative balance.
data have;
length id $10 balance $48;
input id$ balance$;
datalines;
1 25
1 10
2 20
2 -30
3 40
3 80
4 -7
4 2
;
run;
Data want;
set have;
id$ balance$
2 20
2 -30
4 -7
4 2
Is there some reason you have BALANCE as a character variable?
data have;
input id $ balance;
datalines;
1 25
1 10
2 20
2 -30
3 40
3 80
4 -7
4 2
;
run;
proc sql;
create table want as select *
from have
group by id
having min(balance)<0 and max(balance)>0;
run;

Thank you!
Your solution worked.
Of course BALANCE should be numerical, my mistake.
