Base SAS manipulating calculation using different rows for the numerator and denominator

I have a question I am using SAS 9.4 and enterprise guide 7.1. I have a dataset consisting of two months worth of data, summarized. See the enclosed excel workbook with a sample of some of the output. What I am trying to do is use the units and dollars from Nov as the denominator and the units and dollars from December as the numerator. So, I want the row number 11 compared to the row 2 units and dollars units: (38428 / 266324) dollars:(22211515.39 / 160519471.93). So this is basically looking at the number of accounts that moved from a lower bucket to a higher bucket. I would be doing the same calculation for 5 to 30, 30 to 60, 60 to 90, 90 to 120, 120 to 150, and 150 to 180. It is also important to use the correct cycle for the comparison, so cycle 1 November vs cycle 1 December. Cycle2 November to Cycle 2 December, cycle 3 to cycle 3 ex cetera.

You can write a PROC SQL to generate Cartesian product and then filter for your requirements. This is one way of approach, you can also so this kind of approach using a data step.

proc sql;
create table want as
select t1.*,
		t2.PK as PK_,
		t2.reportingdate	as reportingdate_,
		t2.cycle as cycle_,
		t2.bucket1 as bucket1_,
		t2.units1 as units1_,
		t2.balance1 as balance1_,
		t1.units1/t2.units1 as need1,
		t1.balance1/t2.balance1 as need2
	from have t1,have t2
where t1.cycle=t2.cycle and t1.reportingdate='17DEC2018'D
	and t1.reportingdate<>t2.reportingdate
	and (	( t1.bucket1=5 and t2.bucket1=0) 
		or 	( t1.bucket1=30 and t2.bucket1=5)
		or 	( t1.bucket1=60 and t2.bucket1=30)
		or 	( t1.bucket1=90 and t2.bucket1=60)
		or 	( t1.bucket1=120 and t2.bucket1=90)
		or 	( t1.bucket1=150 and t2.bucket1=120)
		or 	( t1.bucket1=180 and t2.bucket1=150)
		)

order by t1.cycle,t1.reportingdate,t1.bucket1
;
quit;

Thanks Suryakiran. That is a reasonable solution.
