I have patients in my data with repeated observations. "uid"=unique identifier of patients. dos=date of survey. I'd like to subset data where patients have future date of survey (2019). Below approach outputs the rows only where dos=2019 but not along with previous years of information which I need to have to investigate the source of error.
Your help is appreciated to come up with data "want" from the code block below. Using SAS 9.4.
data have;
input uid dos;
cards;
1 2015
1 2016
1 2019
2 2017
2 2018
3 2019
4 2015
4 2016
4 2017
5 2015
;
data want;
input uid dos;
cards;
1 2015
1 2016
1 2019
3 2019
;
proc sort data=have;
by uid;
run;
data wrong; set have;
by uid;
if dos in (2019) then output;
run;
proc sql;
create table want as
select * from have
where uid in
(select uid from have where dos=2019);
quit;
proc sql;
create table want as
select * from have
where uid in
(select uid from have where dos=2019);
quit;
proc sql;
create table want as
select * from have
where uid in /*selects only IDS from this list*/
(select distinct uid from have where dos=2019); *<- this creates a list of IDs where it is 2019, should add the DISTNCT word here;
quit;
