I am having 2 datasets as below
dataset 1:
| SUBJID | VISIT |
| 1002 | Baseline |
| 1002 | DAY 1 |
| 1002 | DAY 2 |
| 1002 | DAY 3 |
| 1003 | Baseline |
| 1003 | DAY 1 |
| 1003 | DAY 2 |
| 1003 | DAY 3 |
| 1004 | Baseline |
| 1004 | DAY 1 |
| 1004 | DAY 2 |
| 1004 | DAY 3 |
dataset 2:
| SUBJID | VISIT |
| 1002 | Baseline |
| 1002 | DAY 1 |
| 1002 | DAY 2 |
| 1003 | Baseline |
| 1003 | DAY 1 |
| 1003 | DAY 2 |
| 1003 | DAY 3 |
| 1004 | DAY 1 |
| 1004 | DAY 2 |
| 1004 | DAY 3 |
I want to separate out the records from dataset 1 for which there is no corresponding VISIT in dataset 2.
Need help with the code. Can anybody help ?
Since the datasets are already nicely sorted, a MERGE will do:
data want;
merge
dataset1
dataset2 (in=ds2)
;
by subjid visit;
if not ds2;
run;
