I have following dataset. i want to create another flag based on status value by type.
if for a type status=True then Flag should be "true" for all type & if a type contains both true & false value under status then let it be "Partial" and if for a type status=False then Flag should be "Flase" for all type.
data one;
input type $ Status $12.;
datalines;
A true
A false
B false
C true
C true
C true
E false
E false
E false
;
run;
Use a double do loop:
data one;
input type $ Status :$12.;
datalines;
A true
A false
A false
C true
C true
C true
E false
E false
E false
;
data want;
do until(last.type);
set one;
by type;
f = max(f,ifn(status='false',1,0));
t = max(t,ifn(status='true',1,0));
end;
if f and t
then flag = 'Partial';
else if f
then flag = 'False';
else if t
then flag = 'True';
else flag = 'Undef';
do until (last.type);
set one;
by type;
output;
end;
drop t f;
run;
proc print data=want noobs;
run;
Result:
type Status flag A true Partial A false Partial A false Partial C true True C true True C true True E false False E false False E false False
Use a double do loop:
data one;
input type $ Status :$12.;
datalines;
A true
A false
A false
C true
C true
C true
E false
E false
E false
;
data want;
do until(last.type);
set one;
by type;
f = max(f,ifn(status='false',1,0));
t = max(t,ifn(status='true',1,0));
end;
if f and t
then flag = 'Partial';
else if f
then flag = 'False';
else if t
then flag = 'True';
else flag = 'Undef';
do until (last.type);
set one;
by type;
output;
end;
drop t f;
run;
proc print data=want noobs;
run;
Result:
type Status flag A true Partial A false Partial A false Partial C true True C true True C true True E false False E false False E false False
Thank you Kurt !
It worked.
