hello
I want to select the first observation by secid and grp. I try this but it give me the first observation by secid only
data first_by_group;
set rolling12;
by secid grp;
if first.secid and first.grp then output;
run;
if first.grp then output;
This give the first observation whenever GRP changes.
The way you had it written, you only get the first observation when BOTH secid and grp change.
if first.grp then output;
This give the first observation whenever GRP changes.
