Calculate the difference in the same variable considering the order of other variables

S_Mario — Mon, 06 Mar 2023 14:36:41 GMT

this is a piece of my output.

what I want to get is the difference between the value of "Diff" when "Flag" =1 and the value of "Diff" when "Flag" =0 for each "Date" as happens on line 4 where 57(flag=1) - 7 (flag=0) = 50 on 01/02/2020.

The result of diff_flag comes from the following data step:

data want;
set have;
by date;
diff_flag = dif(Diff);
run;

Thanks in advance for your help

Please post your data as text, not as an image. To work with it, we'd have to type it out or convert it to text which is an extra step in trying to help you.

Preferably a data step, but text at minimum.

I think you only want the results when flag=1? If so, delete the results on 0.

Otherwise, please clarify your expected output.

data want;
set have;
by date;
diff_flag = dif(Diff);

if flag_servisizio=0 then call missing(diff_flag);

run;

@Reeza sorry for how I put the problem, I'll take it into account for next time.
