create automate macro code

PriyaSaha — Fri, 21 Nov 2014 18:30:07 GMT

I have a dataset as below.

Sale_day_name	short_name
Z ww pp M-F 6a-3p	MTWTF
Z tt bb erty M-F 3p-6p	MTWTF
Z gg kk pp Sa-Su 6a-8a	S
Z kk pp llkjhg Sa-Su 6a-8a	SS
Z kk pp llkjhg M-SU 6p-12a	MTWTFSS
KPI M-Su 12a-2a	MTWTFSS
gtyuooo cyytrrf vftyu Sa 7p	S
vghj nkiug njhgg Sa 11p	S
bhjmm jjhg jjll M-Su 7p-12a	MTWTFSS
bhjmn mkj njk M-Su 7p-12a	S
bhgfx gghh hjjkm M-Su 7p-12a
bjim kkoo kkiuuh Th 10p	T
bjklm njkl M-F 6a-3p

I need a output like below

For example in first observation Sale_day_name is "Z ww pp M-F 6a-3p" and short_name is MTWTF so it create varible like date day1,day2....day5.

Z gg kk pp Sa-Su 6a-8a like day4=Thusday

like this each row have one condition.I need a less line code macro query for this.

Sale_day_name	short_name	Day1	Day2	Day3	Day4	Day5	Day6	Day7
Z ww pp M-F 6a-3p	MTWTF	Monday	Tuesday	Wednesday	Thursday	Friday
Z tt bb erty M-F 3p-6p	MTWTF	Monday	Tuesday	Wednesday	Thursday	Friday
Z gg kk pp Sa-Su 6a-8a	S						Saturday
Z kk pp llkjhg Sa-Su 6a-8a	SS						Saturday	Sunday
Z kk pp llkjhg M-SU 6p-12a	MTWTFSS	Monday	Tuesday	Wednesday	Thursday	Friday	Saturday	Sunday
KPI M-Su 12a-2a	MTWTFSS	Monday	Tuesday	Wednesday	Thursday	Friday	Saturday	Sunday
gtyuooo cyytrrf vftyu Sa 7p	S						Saturday
vghj nkiug njhgg Sa 11p	S						Saturday
bhjmm jjhg jjll M-Su 7p-12a	MTWTFSS	Monday	Tuesday	Wednesday	Thursday	Friday	Saturday	Sunday
bhjmn mkj njk M-Su 7p-12a	S							Sunday
bhgfx gghh hjjkm M-Su 7p-12a		Monday	Tuesday	Wednesday	Thursday	Friday	Saturday	Sunday
bjim kkoo kkiuuh Th 10p	T				Thursday
bjklm njkl M-F 6a-3p		Monday	Tuesday	Wednesday	Thursday	Friday

Please help me to write it.

I would ignore your short_name field, as it doesn't clearly differentiate between Tuesdays and Thursdays, or Saturdays and Sundays. Instead, I would use the following:

proc format;

invalue days

'M'=3

'T'=4

'W'=5

'TH'=6

'F'=7

'SA'=8

'SU'=9

;

run;

data want (drop=dayrange);

set have;

format dayrange $10.;

array day(3:9) $;

dayrange=upcase(scan(Sale_day_name,-2,' '));

if index(dayrange,'-') then do;

start=input(scan(dayrange,1,'-'),days.);

end=input(scan(dayrange,2,'-'),days.);

end;

else do;

start=input(dayrange,days.);

end=start;

end;

do i=start to end;

day(i)=put(i,downame8.);

end;

run;

Thanks a lot Arthur for your kind support.Could please guide me how can this query write in macro ?

How do you want to use it? Provide some example data and a pseudo macro call you'd like to use and what you want it to do.

Hi Arthur,

I have a dataset like below

SALE_DAY_NAME	day_name
A fav name Day M-F 6a-3p	MTWTF
A fav name Early M-F 3p-6p	MTWTF
A fav name Early Morn Sa-Su 6a-8a	S
A fav name Early Morn Sa-Su 6a-8a	SS
A fav name Prime M-SU 6p-12a vvv	MTWTFSS
Name M-Su 12a-2a	MTWTFSS
good day name Sa 7p	S
best day name ENCORE Sa 11p	S
best day namet M-Su 7p-12a	MTWTFSS
best day name M-Su 7p-12a	S
best day name M-Su 7p-12a
best day name ORIG Th 10p	T
Daylight ROS M-F 6a-3p
Daylight ROS M-Su 6a-3p gpd	MTWTF

I want a data set like

SALE_DAY_NAME	day_name	day1	day2	day3	day4	day5	day6	day7
A fav name Day M-F 6a-3p	MTWTF	Monday	Tuesday	Wednesday	Thursday	Friday
A fav name Early M-F 3p-6p	MTWTF	Monday	Tuesday	Wednesday	Thursday	Friday
A fav name Early Morn Sa-Su 6a-8a	S						Saturday
A fav name Early Morn Sa-Su 6a-8a	SS						Saturday	Sunday
A fav name Prime M-SU 6p-12a	MTWTFSS	Monday	Tuesday	Wednesday	Thursday	Friday	Saturday	Sunday
Name M-Su 12a-2a	MTWTFSS	Monday	Tuesday	Wednesday	Thursday	Friday	Saturday	Sunday
good day name Sa 7p	S						Saturday
best day name ENCORE Sa 11p	S						Saturday
best day namet M-Su 7p-12a	MTWTFSS	Monday	Tuesday	Wednesday	Thursday	Friday	Saturday	Sunday
best day name M-Su 7p-12a	S						Saturday
best day name M-Su 7p-12a		Monday	Tuesday	Wednesday	Thursday	Friday	Saturday	Sunday
best day name ORIG Th 10p	T				Thursday
Daylight ROS M-F 6a-3p		Monday	Tuesday	Wednesday	Thursday	Friday
Daylight ROS M-Su 6a-3p gpd	MTWTF	Monday	Tuesday	Wednesday	Thursday	Friday

for example last observation

i if SALE_DAY_NAME= Daylight ROS M-Su 6a-3p gpd and day_name=MTWTF then put value from day1 to day5.

if SALE_DAY_NAME= best day name M-Su 7p-12a and day_name=' ' then take M-Su put value from day1 to day7.

first we have check the day_name if day_name blank then take the bold part from SALE_DAY_NAME and put value in day1....day7.

Please help me to write the code for above query.

Thanks in advance .I am waiting for your replay.

As I mentioned the other day, your day_name field doesn't differentiate between Tuesdays and Thursdays, or Saturdays and Sundays, thus it would be difficult to write code based on its values.

I already suggested code that can accomplish the task, but don't understand how you want to macrotize it.

Hi Arthur,

Above data the day name if S then it Saturdays ,if SS then Saturdays and Sunday.If it is ' T ' then take from SALE_DAY_NAME bold latters.otheif r wise take the position T ,like if it is 2nd position then Tueseday,5th position thusday.If TH then Thusday if TU then tuesday.

Thanks in advance.

You still haven't mentioned how you would like a macro to work, how (and from where) you'd like to call it, what parameters it should be sent (and which will be hardwired). or what day should be selected from the short name if it only contains:
