Run a code while stratifying by two variables - sas

Question

suppose to have the following simple case (only for explanatory purposes. Original data are more complicated to show):
data have;
input ID :$20. Label1 :$20. Label2 :$20. Hours :$20.;
cards;
0001 rep1 w 345
0001 rep1 f 985
0001 rep1 w 367
0001 rep2 w 65
0001 rep2 w 123
0001 rep2 f 120
0002 rep6 f 45
0002 rep6 w 657
0002 rep6 w 45
0002 rep1 w 567
0002 rep1 f 78
0002 rep1 w 9
..... .... ... ...
;
I would like to sum, foreach ID the hours corresponding to "w" but also stratifying by Label1, i.e. rep*. I used:
data want;
set have;
by ID Label1;
if first.ID
..........
if last.ID
.........
run;
Although I was able to stratify by ID I was not able to stratify by Label1.
Is it possible to write as follows: if first.ID and first.Label1 then....?
While doing some attempts, SAS gave me also the following error:
"by variables are not properly sorted on data set have". Input data are sorted by ID.
Thank you in advance

Answer 1

Obviously and as you said, the input data is sorted by ID, so you can use first.ID. But the data is not sorted by label, therefore you cannot use first.label. If you want to use both you have to sort by both variables:
proc sort data=have;
by ID label;
quit;
But keep in mind that in your sample data there will then be not only one first.label=1 for label=rep1, but twice:
first.ID first.label
0001 rep1 w 345 1 1
0001 rep1 f 985 0 0
0001 rep1 w 367 0 0
0001 rep2 w 65 0 1
0001 rep2 w 123 0 0
0001 rep2 f 120 0 0
0002 rep1 w 567 1 1
0002 rep1 f 78 0 0
0002 rep1 w 9 0 0
0002 rep6 f 45 0 1
0002 rep6 w 657 0 0
0002 rep6 w 45 0 0
