Deriving a new variable based on other variables

Bounce — Fri, 06 Dec 2019 02:30:41 GMT

Hi all,

I have a dataset with 5 variables: Date, ID, Account, Closed, Value and I am wanting to create a new variable: New_Value.

Basically New_Value is just the Value of the Account except if the Account for that specific ID has a Closed indicator of 'Y' AND is the latest recorded instance for that Account based on the Date, then I would like to change the New_Value for this row to 0.

For Example, New_Value should look like this:

Date ID Account Closed Value New_Value

01/01/2019 1 1 Y $10 $0

25/12/2018 1 1 Y $72 $72

22/11/2018 1 1 Y $90 $90

20/11/2017 1 1 Y $87 $87

There are many accounts per ID with each having multiple dates.

Many thanks in advance
