I want to eliminate the missing values in the data set below and make it become a cleaner data set.
I have the following data set:
id age gender score
1 . . 30
1 . F .
1 10 . .
2 . . 40
2 . M .
2 11 . .
3 . . 50
3 . F .
3 12 . .
How can I change the above data set to the new data set looks like:
id age gender score
1 10 F 30
2 11 M 40
3 12 F 50
There's a trick for this using the UPDATE statement. Replace your data set name with the HAVE in the code below and see what you get.
data want;
update have(obs=0) have;
by ID;
run;
