idea about conditional statement

Posted 05-30-2018 11:10 AM (3124 views)

Hi, 

I have this dataset  and this is the result I desire

and I want an idea to get the result I want  

If the scan if  scan(assigned_to,2,"@")="clinical.com"  then result=assigned_to; 

I want to create a variable that has the values that associated with the clinical.com  email from the variable assigned_to  

but also I want  to create a variable called count witch count the blanks in the assigned_to variable if the value is in the result variable

Create your list then first:

 

proc sql noprint;
select distinct quote(task_name) into :task_list separated by ", "
from have
where email like '%@clinical.com';
quit;
%put &task_list;

If the macro variable is  too long you'll need a different approach.

Could you

 

  1. Put the incoming data in the form of a sas data set, and
  2. (really important) show what you want the resulting data set to look like.

 

 

 

--------------------------
The hash OUTPUT method will overwrite a SAS data set, but not append. That can be costly. Consider voting for Add a HASH object method which would append a hash object to an existing SAS data set

Would enabling PROC SORT to simultaneously output multiple datasets be useful? Then vote for
Allow PROC SORT to output multiple datasets

Suggestion would be to cut the example data by maybe half.

Then show the desired result as well, which should be easier with the reduced set.

Reason for showing the desired result is the phrase "has the values that associated with the clinical.com email" is not exactly clear.

Does this mean that you want to do something with the "task_name" variable? Get the user name from such as tcollins from the string tcollins@clinical.com or something else.

 

Since each record could only have 1 "blank" what you actually want to count appears to be something else, possibly a summary after this data set is created.

Why not use FIND/INDEX instead of SCAN, since you're searching for a specific string set.

if find('@clincial.com', assigned_to, 'i')>0 then result=task_name;

 

 

Isn't that all you need?

I don't have a problem with this part
I have a problem with the variable count
I need to create count to count how many blanks are they if the values in the variable result without specifying the values of the variable result each time I run the program

IF/THEN/DO.

Adding on to my previous answer, change it to conditional so that you can add the count. You only show one value of 1, so not sure why the rest are blank or if you want them incremented or something. If so, use RETAIN. If you cannot get it working at this point, post your code. 

 

if <condition> then do;

<multiple sas statements>;

count=1;

end;

Please be much more clear in your initial question.

I know if then do
the question is
if then always need to specify a value of the variable to subset
I want to specify the variable that has all those values but without mentioning the values

I mean usually, we subset this way
if var=a and var1=" " then count
if var in ("a", "b") and var1=" " then count


but the code that I need is
if the value in the var then count without specifying the value of the variable

Yeah, still not following. Show me 5 lines of data and exactly what you want as output - as two different data sets.
