delete all the Geography from rows having zero sum Value

[Sfzz]

Hi,

Can anyone tell me how can i delete all the Geography from rows which are having zero value while summing for that geography. There are around 10,000 different Geographies in my dataset.

I have attached the excel file for reference.

Something like this?

data have;
input Geography$ Variable_Value;
datalines;
Geo00001 1
Geo00001 3
Geo00001 4
Geo00001 5
Geo00002 0
Geo00002 0
Geo00002 0
Geo00002 0
Geo00003 5
Geo00003 0
Geo00003 0
Geo00003 7
Geo00003 0
Geo00003 2
Geo00004 0
Geo00004 0
Geo00004 0
Geo00004 0
Geo00004 0
;

proc sort data=have;
	by Geography;
run;

/* Data set approach */
data want;
	set have(where=(Variable_Value ne 0));
	by Geography;
	if first.Geography then sum=0;
	else sum+Variable_Value;
	retain sum;
	if last.Geography;
run;
