creating flag and percentage calculation

vnreddy — Tue, 09 Feb 2021 11:23:03 GMT

Hi All,

I have two datasets A and B both are having more than 16 million records

I am trying to create a Flag based on the account_numbers e.g., if dataset A Account_number matches with Account_number from B dataset then the Flag should be 1 if not matches then Flag = 0

Matches Flag = 1

Mismatch Flag = 0

I want to see the percentage by Flag 1 & 0

for. eg., if i have total 10 records, out of which 8 matches in Dataset A and B then Flag 1 should be 80% and Flag 0 should be 20%

I am looking for outputs like Output 1 & Outpu 2

Dataset A

Account_number	Billing_Period
12345678	201611
12345679	201611
12345680	201611
12345681	201611
12345682	201611
12345683	201611
12345684	201611
12345685	201611
12345686	201611
12345687	201611

Dataset B

Account_number	Billing_Period
12345672	201611
12345679	201611
12345680	201611
12345681	201611
12345682	201611
12345683	201611
12345687	201611
12345685	201611
12345686	201611
12345687	201611

Expected Output 1:

Account_number	Account_number	Billing_Period	Flag
12345678	12345672	201611	0
12345679	12345679	201611	1
12345680	12345680	201611	1
12345681	12345681	201611	1
12345682	12345682	201611	1
12345683	12345683	201611	1
12345684	12345688	201611	0
12345685	12345685	201611	1
12345686	12345686	201611	1
12345687	12345687	201611	1

Expected output 2:

Billing_Period	Flag	Percentage
201611	1	80
201611	0	20

Thanks

Here is the flag part. Do you want the second output as a SAS data set or a report?

data a;
input Account_number $ Billing_Period $;
datalines;
12345678 201611
12345679 201611
12345680 201611
12345681 201611
12345682 201611
12345683 201611
12345684 201611
12345685 201611
12345686 201611
12345687 201611
;

data b;
input Account_number $ Billing_Period $;
datalines;
12345672 201611
12345679 201611
12345680 201611
12345681 201611
12345682 201611
12345683 201611
12345687 201611
12345685 201611
12345686 201611
12345687 201611
;

data want;
   if _N_ = 1 then do;
      dcl hash h(dataset : "b");
      h.definekey("Account_number");
      h.definedone();
   end;

   set a;

   flag = (h.find() = 0);
run;
