Hello
I want to use proc sql to select one row by group.
The criteria is to select for each group the row with max value of date.
However, if there are multiple rows with max date value then this query is not working well because it select multiple rows by group.
What is the way to solve it via proc sql?
data have;
input ID $ date : date9. var;
format date date9.;
