                               count(distinct Person_ID) as N_Persons from Contacts and 
	 , count(distinct Person_ID) as TR_Person  from Rewards and

order by b.Person_ID,b.Reward_Used_Date

So Im trying to make a proportion within proc sql after using a condition ( intnx ) . My goal is to create a proportion ( used '/' or % as divide sign) from person id counts from the original dataset( contacts) to the subset after the condition I created and give that a count ( i used distinct since some names are duplicated). In this case 1 person meets the condition out 4 people. I just cant code it for some reason.

Research question is how many people used their loyalty rewards between day 5 and day 10 of receiving it?

Should the 'count' statement be used before the condition ( intnx) part in this case. I am also open to more efficient coding than this

Maybe I could have used the case statement instead of the intnx?

Hello,

Your PROC SQL's are not entirely clear to me and contain some errors.

Fortunately you mentioned the ultimate aim of your program, being the proportion of ALL customers claiming their reward within 10 days (and over 5 days) after receiving it.

I got rid of the PROC SQL's and solved it with a data step:

The PROC FREQ gives the requested proportion.

Here it is:

data abc;
 merge contacts reward;
 by Person_ID;
 if Reward_Received_Date and Reward_Used_Date then
  time_elapsed=INTCK('DAY',Reward_Received_Date,Reward_Used_Date);
 else
  time_elapsed=.;
 if 5 <= time_elapsed <= 10 then condition=1; else condition=0;
run;

proc sort data=abc;
 by Person_ID descending condition;
run;

data def;
 set abc;
 by Person_ID descending condition;
 if first.Person_ID then output;
run;

PROC FREQ data=def;
 tables condition;
run;

Good luck,

Koen
