I am using SAS 9.4
Hello all,
I have a data set that is similar to this:
| ID | Med | Opioid | NSAID | Diuretic | Steroids |
| 1 | A | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| 1 | B | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| 1 | C | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 |
| 1 | D | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 |
| 1 | E | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 |
| 2 | D | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 |
| 2 | C | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 |
| 3 | A | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| 3 | I | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 |
| 3 | J | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 |
| 3 | D | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 |
| 4 | A | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| 4 | B | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| 4 | N | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 |
and I would like to transform the data set into something that looks like this:
| ID | Opioid | NSAID | Diuretic | Steroids |
| 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
| 2 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 0 |
| 3 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
| 4 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 |
How would I go about doing this?
Thank you in advance!
You can do it with proc sql.
proc sql;
create table want as
select id, max(Opioid) as opioid, max(NSAID) as NSAID, max(Diuretic) as Diuretic, max(Steroids) as Steroids
from have
group by id;
quit;
Keep the maximum for each ID.
It all depends on the type of your variables Opioid, NSAID, Diuretic and Steroids. Are they numeric or char?
proc summary data=have;
by id;
var /* your variables */;
output out=want max()=;
run;
