sum multiple by variables with a condition

Hi Again,

I already posted a question here similar to this. But this is something very trick for me which I didn't get the solution.

data have;

input a2 $ a1 $12. a b;

cards;

VA IME_PREM_ADJ 11 100

VA IME_PREM_ADJ 12 102

VA IME_PREM_NON 11 101

VA IME_PREM_ADJ 13 101

WVA IME_PREM_RES 11 105

VA IME_PREM_RES 3 102

VA IME_PREM_NON 2 200

VA IME_ANNUITIE 3 205

WVA IME_ANNUITIE 4 501

;

run;

proc sort data=have

out=haveSrt;

by a2 a1 descending a;

run;

This is a sample data with 4 columns and few observations, in my original data I have 20+ columns and crores of data.

what I need is, sum b column based on (b>=b), but the group by should be maintained, the issue is as there are many columns we cn't predict which column we have to use for first. for doing the sum. is there any ways to get this done?

The output should lokks like :

a2	a1	a	b	b_sum
VA	IME_ANNUITIE	3	205	205
VA	IME_PREM_ADJ	13	101	303
VA	IME_PREM_ADJ	12	102	202
VA	IME_PREM_ADJ	11	100	100
VA	IME_PREM_NON	11	101	301
VA	IME_PREM_NON	2	200	200
VA	IME_PREM_RES	3	102	102
WVA	IME_ANNUITIE	4	501	501
WVA	IME_PREM_RES	11	105	105

here taking an example of a2=VA and a1=IME_PREM_ADJ the column a has values 13,12,11 so, the first row of 13 will be b_sum=b(13)+b(12)+ b(11) because 13>=12 and 11, likewise for the row of 12, b_sum=b(12)+b(11).

But, Please make sure about the multiple columns in the by group.

Thanks,

Chithra

Keep the original order before summing:

data have;
input a2 $ a1 $12. a b;
cards;
VA IME_PREM_ADJ 11 100
VA IME_PREM_ADJ 12 102
VA IME_PREM_NON 11 101
VA IME_PREM_ADJ 13 101
WVA IME_PREM_RES 11 105
VA IME_PREM_RES 3 102
VA IME_PREM_NON 2 200
VA IME_ANNUITIE 3 205
WVA IME_ANNUITIE 4 501
;
run;

proc sort data=have;
by a2 a1 a;
run;

data want;
set have;
by a2 a1;
retain b_sum;
if first.a1
then b_sum = b;
else b_sum + b;
run;

proc sort data=want;
by a2 a1 descending a;
run;

proc print data=want noobs;
run;

Result:

a2          a1          a     b     b_sum

VA     IME_ANNUITIE     3    205     205 
VA     IME_PREM_ADJ    13    101     303 
VA     IME_PREM_ADJ    12    102     202 
VA     IME_PREM_ADJ    11    100     100 
VA     IME_PREM_NON    11    101     301 
VA     IME_PREM_NON     2    200     200 
VA     IME_PREM_RES     3    102     102 
WVA    IME_ANNUITIE     4    501     501 
WVA    IME_PREM_RES    11    105     105

matches your expected output.

I would try with a retain & lag...
