CASE WHEN calculation returning missing value

JediApprentice — Thu, 21 Jul 2016 20:13:32 GMT

I have the following query:

proc format;                           
   picture mypct low-high='000,009.00%';   
run;

/*****************************************************************************************************************/

PROC SQL;
  CREATE TABLE COMMERCIAL_CLAIMS_PREP AS
  SELECT t1.ApprovedPriceType,
         t1.AWP,
         t1.AWP_Rate,
		 t1.BRAND_GENERIC,
		 (t1.AWP*t1.ApprovedDispensingFeeAmount) FORMAT=DOLLAR16.2 AS Current_Pricing,
         t1.CarrierID, 
         t1.CLIENT,
         t1.FilledMonth, 
         t1.'Filled Quarter'n, 
         t1.GPINumber, 
         t1.MailOrderIndicator,
         t1.Lives, 
         t1.MultiSourceCode, 
         t1.PriceScheduleDefinition, 
         t1.RXNetwork,
         t1.SuperPharmacyNetworkID, 
         t1.SUM_OF_ApprovedIngredientCost, 
         t1.SUM_OF_AWP, 
         t1.SUM_OF_RX, 
         t1.SUM_OF_QUANTITYDISPENSED,
         t1.'AFF Name'n, 
         t1.'AFF Type'n, 
         t1.NETWORK, 
         t1.Business_Line, 
         t1.Analytics_Grouping1, 
         t1.MACSavingsGrouping,
         t1.'MAC List'n,
		 t1.Segment,
		 t1.IVLIndicator,
		 t1.Fund_Type,
		 t2.Brand_Discount FORMAT=mypct.,
		 t2.Generic_Discount FORMAT=mypct.,
		 t2.Brand_Dispense_Fee,
		 t2.Generic_Dispense_Fee
  FROM EGTASK.All_Combined_Table t1 LEFT JOIN EGTASK.PTSLCT t2 ON (input(t1.SERVICEPROVIDERID,8.) = t2.NCPDP)
  WHERE Business_Line = 'Commercial';
QUIT;

PROC SQL;
  CREATE TABLE COMMERCIAL_CLAIMS AS
  SELECT t1.ApprovedPriceType,
         t1.AWP,
         t1.AWP_Rate,
		 t1.BRAND_GENERIC,
		 t1.Current_Pricing,
         t1.Lives, 
         t1.NETWORK, 
         t1.Business_Line, 
		 t1.Segment,
		 t1.Brand_Discount,
		 t1.Generic_Discount,
		 t1.Brand_Dispense_Fee,
		 t1.Generic_Dispense_Fee,
		 (CASE
		    WHEN BRAND_GENERIC='BRAND' AND ApprovedPriceType='AWP' THEN (t1.AWP-(t1.AWP*t1.Brand_Discount))
		  END) AS Brand_AWP_Repriced,
		 (CASE
			WHEN BRAND_GENERIC='GENERIC' AND substr(t1.ApprovedPriceType,1,3) ^= 'MAC' THEN (t1.AWP-(t1.AWP*t1.Generic_Discount))
		  END) AS Generic_AWP_Repriced
  FROM COMMERCIAL_CLAIMS_PREP t1;
QUIT;

In the second sub-query, I'm trying to reprice claims based on Average Wholesale Price (AWP) and Brand_Discount (which is in a custom percentage format). However, when I try to calculate the Brand_AWP_Repriced in the CASE WHEN, it returns a missing value. Could this be because of the custom format? How could I get around this?

The format should not affect it as the non-formatted value is used in calculations.

What kind of values do you have for AWP and Brand_Discount when you have BRAND_GENERIC='BRAND' AND ApprovedPriceType='AWP' (make sure of case)

Aha, you were right. I did not pay close enough attention to the case. BRAND_GENERIC has values of either 'Brand' or 'Generic'. Sometimes it's the simplest of things that gets me. Thank you for your help.

There are reasons casual observers of my code often find lots of UPCASE function calls when I deal with character variables and comparisons. ; )
