@Sandeep_Gupta, when you write

BROKERAGE IS HALF OF 216.758 AS HALF THE QUANTITY IS SOLD

how do you get 216.758?

Many users here don't want to download Excel files because of virus potential, others have such things blocked by security software. Also if you give us Excel we have to create a SAS data set and due to the non-existent constraints on Excel data cells the result we end up with may not have variables of the same type (numeric or character) and even values.

https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Communities-Library/How-to-create-a-data-step-version-of-your-data-AKA-generate/ta-p/258712 has instructions on how to covert a SAS data set to data step code that can be pasted into the forum or attached as a text file.
