Hello, I am a SAS user new to R. What is the R equivalent to following SAS statements: 1) data all; merge test1(in=a) test2(in=b) ; by account_id; if a; run; a <- transform ( a, inA = TRUE) b <- transform ( b, inB = TRUE) all <- subset ( merge ( a, b, by = "account_id"), subset = inA ) # The merge will produce NAs where there was no match. Recode them to simplify tests for step 3: transform ( all, inA = ifelse ( is.na( inA ), FALSE, inA) ), inB = ifelse ( is.na ( inB ), FALSE, inB ) ) 2) proc sort data=all nodupkey; by account_id; run; # You do not need the sort in R allUniqueAccount <- subset ( all, !duplicated ( account_id) ) # You are sure dropping these is ok without inspection? 3) data all test1onnly test2only; merge test1(in=a) test2(in=b) by account_id; if a and b then output all; else if a and not b the output test1only; else if b and not a then output test2only; run; all_AandB <- subset ( all, inA & inB ) test1only <- subset ( all, inA & !inB ) test2only <- subset ( all, !inA & inB ) Thanks in advance -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Merging-data-in-R-compared-to-SAS-tp4640991.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
