Hello,
I want to sort years in column sequentially. For example,
Data have
| id | year |
| 1 | 1998 |
| 1 | 1998 |
| 1 | 1999 |
| 1 | 1999 |
| 1 | 2000 |
| 1 | 2000 |
| 1 | 2000 |
| 1 | 2000 |
| 1 | 2001 |
Data want
| id | year |
| 1 | 1998 |
| 1 | 1999 |
| 1 | 2000 |
| 1 | 2001 |
| 1 | 1998 |
| 1 | 1999 |
| 1 | 2000 |
| 1 | 2000 |
| 1 | 2000 |
Thank you so much!
You'll need to add a variable to indicate the proper order. For example:
data want;
set have;
by id year;
if first.year then order=1;
else order + 1;
run;
Then all you need to do is sort the data:
proc sort data=want;
by id order year;
run;
