My data looks like this:

 

ID  Var  Value

1  A       1

1  A       1     

1  B       2

1  B       3

2  A       4

2  B       5

 

I would like to output the duplicate observations for ID and Var:

 

ID  Var  Value

1  A       1

1  A       1

1  B       2

1  B       3

 

I've tried this:

 

proc sql;
create table want as
select distinct id, var, count(*)
from have
group by id, var
having count(*) > 1;
quit;

 

However, this gives me all the disinct records of id and var, not just the instances where they appear twice or more. It also leaves out the Value column, which I would like to keep:  

 

ID  Var 

1  A           

1  B      

1  B      

2  A      

2  B      

 

Could someone please help me with this? Thanks.
