Hi there!
So I had to make three temporary data sets in one data step as well as create a new variable named ShipDays (that is the number of days between when the order was placed and when the order was delivered). I got this part done no problem..
But then it asks to : Output to ‘QUICK’ when the value of ShipDays is less than 3.
Output to ‘SLOW’ when the value of ShipDays is 3 to 5.
Output to ‘VERYSLOW’ when the value of ShipDays is greater than 5.
this is what i have:
data quick
slow
veryslow;
set orders;
where Order_Type_Label in ("Web", "Catalogu");
ShipDays = Delivery_Date - Order_Date;
run;
How do I do this? IF THEN statement? but I'm not sure what to put after THEN. thanks for any help 🙂
data quick slow veryslow; set orders; where Order_Type_Label in ("Web", "Catalogu"); ShipDays = Delivery_Date - Order_Date; if ShipDays lt 3 then output quick; else if Shipdays le 5 then output slow; else if Shipdays gt 5 then output veryslow; run;

FYI: output is a statement .. not a function. All functions are in the form functionname()

data Quick1(where=(ShipDays<3)) Slow (where=(3<=ShipDays<5)) veryslow (where=(ShipDays>5));
set orders;
where Order_Type_Label in ("Web", "Catalogu");
ShipDays = Delivery_Date - Order_Date;
run;
