Step Count based on exclusion

jjdalfonso — Wed, 09 Aug 2023 10:35:20 GMT

Hi,

I have a dataset that contains exclusion tags per customer and reporting month. I want to be able to show a report (proc tabulate, report) that shows how many observations remain after each exclusion tags (like a waterfall type).

Goal:

For criteria 2 exclusions, the dataset should be the net of the criteria 1 exclusion.

Please provide input data (a small portion is fine), as SAS data step code (examples and instructions), and not in any other form. We can't write code without knowing the input data.

Pretty sure this wouldn't be a Proc Tabulate as it has very little in the way of "use a result from row x to calculate row y".

Looks more like a summary step to get the count per month overall and per "exclusion" then a pass through at data step.

But not even going to suggest dummy code without a small example as your data may be structured quite differently that I am imagining it to be.

Hint: Example data should not include more than may 20 total "exclusions" for a month and should include no more than 3 months unless more are needed to demonstrate some peculiarity of your data such as differing "criteria" per month.
