Hi,Everyone,
I have a question about how to create a new variable which is in the reverse order of another one;
for instance ,this is the dataset,
NAME SALARY
JACK 100
LUCY 200
MIKE 300
KATE 400
What I need is to create a new variable say "SALARY_REVERSE" to make the dataset looks like the follows
NAME SALARY SALARY_REVERSE
JACK 100 400
LUCY 200 300
MIKE 300 200
KATE 400 100
Thank you very much!
Sounds silly
proc sort data=have out=haver; by descending salary ; run;
data want;
set have;
set haver(keep=salary rename=salary=reverse_salary);
run;

Salary_Reverse=500-Salary;
Hi,
Let's say the dataset name is test, my solution is below
*Label Observation Number;
data test;
set test;
N = _N_;
run;
*Reverse the Order;
proc sort data = test out = test_reverse; by decending _N_;run;
*Relabel Observation Number;
data test_reverse;
set test_reverse;
N=_N_;
run;
*Merge the two datasets;
data test_combine;
set test test_reverse;
by N;
run;
