Dear forum

 

I am trying to figure out how to simply count number of rows by ID whilst keeping each row, since I want to afterwards delete observations that only have one row. Therefore I don't want just one row that counts ID. 

 

I have tried to explain below. It should be fairly simple, and I tried to do it with a PROC SQL step, but it didn't work. Any help would be highly appreciated.

 

Kind regards,

 

Jacob

 

What I tried, that did not work:

 

PROC SQL;
SELECT ID
,COUNT([ID]) OVER (PARTITION BY [ID]) AS NrObs
INTO data.data2
FROM data.data
;
QUIT;
RUN;
