Addition of Values for Current and Previous Values.

KYW — Thu, 14 Apr 2011 18:19:33 GMT

Hi all. I have a complicated problem regarding the sums of relevant values in different periods that needs to be solved but not sure how.

The simplified situation is like this:-
I have a table A with following fields:
Year, Month, Stock, Price.
Let's say from table A I have data from Year 2008 to 2011 with each year having 100 of different stocks with different prices each month.

With above data fields, I need to create a dataset B with the following fields:
Year, Month, Stock, Current_MTD_Price_Sum, Previous_MTD_Price_Sum, Current_YTD_Price_Sum, Previous_YTD_Price_Sum.

The Current_MTD_Price_Sum is the sum of prices of each stock from that month itself while Previous_MTD_Price_Sum refers to the price sum of the same stock in a year before.
Eg. If the year is 2009 and the month is April, the Current_MTD_Price_Sum would refer to the sum of prices of that stock Z in April 2009 while Previous_MTD_Price_Sum would show the sum of prices for April 2008 for the same stock Z.

Meanwhile, Current_YTD_Price_Sum would show the total sum for the stock from January to April 2010 if the current month is April and Current Year is 2010. Previous_YTD_Price_Sum would be the sum of prices for the stock from January to April 2009.

I have tried to use retain and sum statements but they can only add to a certain period. The tables may look simple but the process to get the correct values has been a great challenge for me so far.

Thanks for your time.

Maybe not trying to generate B in one single data step make the task much easier.
Similar like this, but need some polishing:

proc sql;
create table B1 as
select stock, month, year, sum(price) as Current_MTD_Price_Sum
from A
group by stock, month, year;
quit;

proc sort data=b1;
by stock year month;
run;

data B;
set B1;
retain Previous_MTD_Price_Sum
Previous_YTD_Price_Sum
Current_YTD_Price_Sum
;
by stock year month;
if first.stock then Previous_YTD_Price_Sum=0;
if first.year then do;
Current_YTD_Price_Sum=Current_MTD_Price_Sum;
end;
Current_YTD_Price_Sum+Current_MTD_Price_Sum;
output;
Previous_MTD_Price_Sum=Current_MTD_Price_Sum;
if last.year then
Previous_YTD_Price_Sum=Current_YTD_Price_Sum;
run;

Hi ShareMyAnswer. Thanks for your suggestion. Perhaps breaking down the problem into parts will make it easier to find the solution.

Will give it a try.

KYW — Sat, 16 Apr 2011 02:14:37 GMT

Thanks again KSharp and your efforts in creating dummy data. Your guidance is very helpful.
One question I have is that if lag12() is used to get the values 1 year back, what if I need to further split the month into weeks? We know that 1 month has around 4 or 5 weeks. Can lag12( ) still be used in this situation or do we have to another solution as I don't think lag4 will solve the problem.

Thank you.

Yes.You are right.For this situation, the format about week such as weekdate. will help you some.Give some dummy data,I will try it.

Re: Addition of Values for Current and Previous Values.

KYW — Mon, 18 Apr 2011 10:55:30 GMT

Okay. Let's say below is the dummy data with the following fields:
Year, Month, Week, Stock, Price.
I will just take 1 stock for easy understanding. We know that 1 year has 52 weeks. So the weeks are counted as a continuation from week 1 until week 52 (1 year) corresponding to the relevant months. So now that instead of just summing up the MTD and YTD prices for the stock, we need to split it to the week.

Eg. Previous_WTD_Price_SUM for Week 18 (Which falls on April) in Year 2005 is equivalent to the Current_WTD_Price_Sum for Week 18 in Year 2004 while maintaining what we have already done in Current and Previous MTD and YTD Price Values.

What makes thing more complicated is that the Year, Month and Week are all characters with a '0' to make it looks double digits.

Re: Addition of Values for Current and Previous Values.

Hi KSharp. Thank you for your codes. It's been very helpful in solving the problem.

I have tried your codes below and I found that the Previous_YTD_Price_Sum values do not correspond to the Current_YTD_Price_Sum (which should be the correct way) as the Previous_YTD_Price_Sum only showed the total value of 1220 in every cell instead of the gradual addition of values as seen in Current_YTD_Price_Sum.

Thank you once again for your guidance.

Re: Addition of Values for Current and Previous Values.

Hi KSharp. Thank you very much. This is the answer that I've been looking for so long. Yet you did it in a simple way and yet easy to understand.

Really appreciate what you have been doing to help those who dabble in SAS programming, including me.
