I have a variable name food. food has 8 value labels ranges from 1 to 8. I want to create a variable called range by using the value level of food.   let us suppose I have the dataset name as diet.     data food1; set work.diet; if food <=2 then range=1; else if 3<= food <=5 then range=2; else if 6<= food <=7 then range=3; else if 3<= food <=7  then range=4; else if food>=8 then range=5; run;     the problem line 6 else if 3<= food <=7 then range=4  is not accounting by sas 9.4 as the value is overlapping while creating range variable. i want a variable with this overlapping code. it is creating the value label of range 1 2 3 and 5. it is not accounting the above-highlighted command. can anyone help me with this?     ...
