Hi Everyone,
Currently when I run my query, there are cases whereby there will be duplicate rows (with only one data item is different, not critical)
The below is the example (ID is the unique key):
Original Data
ID Name Date
1 joe 11/11/11
1 joe 12/11/11
2 Mary 11/11/11
3 Jane 12/12/11
3 Jane 13/12/11
Hope to achieve
ID Name Date
1 joe 11/11/11
2 Mary 11/11/11
3 Jane 12/12/11
In SAS VA data query, what should I do in order to achieve that?
Thank You
Try this...
proc sort data=[Original Data];
by id date;
run;
data [New Data];
set [Original Data];
by id;
if first.id then unique=1;
if unique=1;
run;
Thank you for pointing it out. I didn't recognized that it was posted in VA.
@LinusH Thanks for the reply. The requirement is for specific graph. So in the data query (SAS VA), we can sniff out this kind of requirement?
