Hello,

I will like to know the number of visit per patient and group visit in to "1 visit", "2 visit" or "3 visit or more".

I am getting stuck with my code and will appreciate any help.

Here is a sample data;

data readin;
input ID 1-6 Name$ 7-14  visit MMDDYY10.;
format visit MMDDYY10.;
cards;
1     David   4/5/2001
1     David   7/4/2001
2     Sam     4/5/2004
2     Sam     5/4/2005
3     Bane    8/7/2004
3     Bane    9/2/2010
3     Bane    8/7/2003
4     Dane    2/3/2003
4     Dane    8/7/2005
5     Ken     8/7/2006
5     Ken     6/3/2006
6     Priya   7/2/2009
;
run;

For example if a patient have 1 visit then visit=1. in this case priya has 1 visit but david has 2 visit so visit=2 and so on.

I tried using first.id and last.id but i got stuck.

data want;
 set have;
 by id;
 if first.id then visit = 1;
 else visit + 1;
run;

I suppose you want to do something like this:

 

data want;
do i = 1 by 1 until (last.id);
    set have; by id;
    end;

length v $16;
select (i);
    when (1) v = "1 visit";
    when (2) v = "2 visits";
    otherwise v = "3 visits or more";
    end;
    
drop i visit;
rename v = visit;
run;

@Kurt_Bremser @PGStats  Thank you. Although i agreed to the solution however, I mad a mistake in my data representation so when I tried @Kurt_Bremser code I got a different result. My mistake was from my ID. This is the right format from 1 - 12

data readin;
input ID 1-6 Name$ 7-14  visit MMDDYY10.;
format visit MMDDYY10.;
cards;
1     David   4/5/2001
2     David   7/4/2001
3     Sam     4/5/2004
4     Sam     5/4/2005
5     Bane    8/7/2004
6     Bane    9/2/2010
7     Bane    8/7/2003
8     Dane    2/3/2003
9     Dane    8/7/2005
10    Ken     8/7/2006
11    Ken     6/3/2006
12    Priya   7/2/2009

Both codes can accomodate this change:

 

data wantPG;
do i = 1 by 1 until (last.name);
    set readin; by name notsorted;
    end;

length v $16;
select (i);
    when (1) v = "1 visit";
    when (2) v = "2 visits";
    otherwise v = "3 visits or more";
    end;
    
drop i visit;
rename v = visit;
run;

proc format;
value visits
  1 = "1 visit"
  2 = "2 visits"
  other = "3 or more visits"
;
run;

proc sql;
create table wantKB as
  select
    max(id) as maxId,
    name,
	max(visit) as lastVisit format=mmddyy10.,
    count(*) as visit format=visits.
  from readin
  group by name
;
quit;
