Hi community,
I want to sort out the duplicate comments and holds the min date by ID in my table.
For Exmpl
data have;
input id comments$ date mmddyy10.;
cards;
100 cmmnt1 10/11/2017
105 cmmnt3 12/12/2018
100 cmmnt1 09/10/2012
108 cmmnt2 07/08/2016
100 cmmnt2 08/11/2015
run;
proc print data = have;
format date mmddyy10.;
run;
For this, my output should
100 cmmnt1 09/10/2012
100 cmmnt2 08/11/2015
105 cmmnt3 12/12/2018
108 cmmnt2 07/08/2016
Please help me to get this output.
Thanks in advance!
