Query regarding Proc Report

Tushar — Fri, 23 Nov 2012 14:09:50 GMT

Hi All,

i have a dataset name custtrasac which given below and contain customer transaction details day wise. Now the problem is i have not used proc report for indepth calculation and i have asked to create report which contain 1)monthwise transaction details order by customer id 2) Also i want commulative frequency for transaction id for every month? Can anyone please help me for this code using Proc report only?

custid transactionId dates

=====================

1001 100001 1/1/2012

1002 100002 1/2/2012

1100 100100 12/31/2012

Thanks,

Tushar J

Hi:

PROC FREQ is much better at giving you cumulative frequency than PROC REPORT. What is the reason you must use PROC REPORT? But you want 2 reports, as numbered above, right? You show very little data - there's not enough to run a test. And, you don't show what the output should look like. What is the type of report you need? HTML, RTF, PDF?

For report #1 (the customerid report), what are "monthwise transaction details" -- you only show 3 variables, but there are no amounts to summarize, so the only calculated numbers you could get would be N and PCTN and whatever you calculate. For report #2 (the transaction report), you say that you want cumulative frequency for tranactionid for every month -- so this report would be basically a count of customerids for every month? The way you show your data, it looks like every transaction id sort of "matches" every customer id -- the way you show it, every transaction id is unique on every row and every customer id is unique on every row. Could you have duplicate transaction ids? Could you have duplicate customer ids? Is there any linkage between customer id and tranaction id?

Could 1 customer have multiple transactions?

custid transactionId dates

==================================

1001 100001 1/1/2012

1002 100012 1/2/2012

1002 100022 1/2/2012

1002 100032 1/3/2012

1003 100013 1/1/2012

1003 100023 1/1/2012

OR,

could multiple customers have the same transactions on the same day or different days?

custid transactionId dates

==================================

1001 100001 1/1/2012

1002 100001 1/2/2012

1002 100002 1/2/2012

1002 100003 1/3/2012

1003 100002 1/1/2012

1003 100003 1/2/2012

What code have you tried? Knowing these details and the destination you want and the code you've tried will help anyone who might have some ideas of how to help you with this question. Here's some sample code using "fake" data that contains duplicate customer id values and duplicate transaction values and duplicate days, along with an example of what you might get from PROC FREQ by default.

Hi Cynthia,

sorry for my late reply. Actually all i want to know is how proc report can done proc freq work, however i understood that the problem statement which i have mentioned is not clear. This is something i was being asked and i guess i need to check this back again. All i am trying to get familier with the Proc REPORT. but thanks a lot for this information. i will check the correct problem statement and will get back in discussion incase i am not able to solve. Thanks Again Cynthia for your reply.
