Hello everyone, 

 

I am using a do loop to create a counter variable, count. However, the values that needs to be counted is not fully complete. How can I adjust the following code to include missing observations? I want to add a line that makes count=. if time=., and have no rows added if time=., but i couldn't get an if-then statement to work. Instead, the rows where time=. are removed from the dataset. 

 

Thank you!

 

 

data dat2; 
	set dat1; 
	if time ge 0 then do 
		count=1 to round(time, 1);
			output; 
			end;
run;

You could just make sure your upper bound is at least 1.

data dat2; 
  set dat1; 
  do count=1 to max(1,round(time, 1));
    output; 
  end;
run;
