Often a times, we get a dataset with missing values for certain variables…And for reporting purposes we need to convert them some or all of those variable values to default values (for e.g 0 for numeric values or NULL for character values)..
Try using this macro for such type of purposes…
For eg.
input fruit $ shop $ count2 count3 count4 ; |
Input dataset with couple of missing values for numeric(count1, 2,3,4 ) and character (fruit, shop) variables.
Note:
Use the macro like this... |
inpdsn- name of the input dataset |
outdsn- name of the output dataset |
numvars= - give the list of numeric variables to be filled in with |
charvars= - give the list of character variables to be filled in with |
fillnums= the numeric value to use to fill the dataset |
fillchars=the character value to use to fill the dataset |
%fill(test,out,fillnums=0,fillchars=A); |
%macro fill(inpdsn,outdsn,numvars=,charvars=,fillnums=,fillchars=); |
data &outdsn; /*output dataset name*/ |
%if &numvars eq ALL %then |
array nums(*) _numeric_ ; /*assign all numeric variables to the array nums */ |
%splitmacroval(numvars,num,numcnt,dlm= |
array nums(&numcnt.) %do k=1 %to &numcnt; &&num&k %end;; /*assign all numeric variables to the array nums */ |
%if &charvars eq ALL %then |
array chars(*) _character_ ; /*assign all character variables to the array chars */ |
%splitmacroval(charvars,chr,chrcnt,dlm= |
array chars(&chrcnt.) %do k=1 %to &chrcnt; &&chr&k %end;; /*assign all character variables to the array chars */ |
/* for every numeric variable assign 0 to the variable if the value is missing */ |
if nums(i)=. then nums(i)=&fillnums; |
/* for every Character variable assign A for eg. to the variable if the value is missing */ |
Output1 after applying the macro
%fill(test,out1,numvars=ALL,charvars=ALL,fillnums=0,fillchars=A);
Output2 after applying the macro
%fill(test,out2,numvars=count3 count4,charvars=shop ,fillnums=0,fillchars=A);
