I do not need rebalancing or compounding, just simple returns. I'll put it this way, I have five groups labeled 0-4, and each group needs to be further subgrouped by year and month, and each month's equal-weighted returns and value-weighted returns are the simple average returns and market value (MV) weighted average returns, respectively, of the individual stocks that month. There is no need to consider starting value, because everything will be in terms of percentage returns. Also, they are monthly portfolios, so literally it means holding for the month only. Number of stocks in each portfolio depends on the data, they are not the same for each portfolio, but I'd like to include only portfolios have more than 10 stocks. The following is what the actual dataset looks like.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><TABLE><TBODY><TR><TD>Company</TD><TD>Year</TD><TD>Quarter</TD><TD>EPS</TD><TD>EarnRank</TD><TD>Date</TD><TD>date_pred</TD><TD>year_stated</TD><TD>month</TD><TD>MV</TD><TD>Return</TD><TD>retpercent</TD><TD>rank_er</TD></TR><TR><TD>X13194E</TD><TD>2009</TD><TD>4</TD><TD>-1.36</TD><TD>9.4</TD><TD>18484</TD><TD>18849</TD><TD>2009</TD><TD>8</TD><TD>5706.43</TD><TD>-0.04531</TD><TD>-4.53138</TD><TD>2</TD></TR><TR><TD>X13194E</TD><TD>2010</TD><TD>1</TD><TD>-4.54</TD><TD>8.6</TD><TD>18564</TD><TD>18929</TD><TD>2010</TD><TD>10</TD><TD>5819.21</TD><TD>0.007602</TD><TD>0.760184</TD><TD>2</TD></TR><TR><TD>X13194E</TD><TD>2010</TD><TD>2</TD><TD>4.86</TD><TD>11.6</TD><TD>18655</TD><TD>19020</TD><TD>2010</TD><TD>1</TD><TD>6811.63</TD><TD>&nbsp;</TD><TD>&nbsp;</TD><TD>2</TD></TR><TR><TD>X13194E</TD><TD>2010</TD><TD>3</TD><TD>11</TD><TD>15.8</TD><TD>18380</TD><TD>18745</TD><TD>2010</TD><TD>4</TD><TD>5864.32</TD><TD>-0.05186</TD><TD>-5.18571</TD><TD>2</TD></TR><TR><TD>X13194E</TD><TD>2010</TD><TD>4</TD><TD>4.34</TD><TD>7.2</TD><TD>18849</TD><TD>19214</TD><TD>2010</TD><TD>8</TD><TD>7014.63</TD><TD>0.016144</TD><TD>1.614413</TD><TD>2</TD></TR><TR><TD>X13194E</TD><TD>2011</TD><TD>1</TD><TD>-5.64</TD><TD>7.6</TD><TD>18928</TD><TD>19293</TD><TD>2011</TD><TD>10</TD><TD>7014.63</TD><TD>0.003276</TD><TD>0.327562</TD><TD>2</TD></TR><TR><TD>X13194E</TD><TD>2011</TD><TD>2</TD><TD>0.27</TD><TD>11.4</TD><TD>19022</TD><TD>19387</TD><TD>2011</TD><TD>1</TD><TD>7691.28</TD><TD>0.042808</TD><TD>4.280803</TD><TD>2</TD></TR><TR><TD>X13194E</TD><TD>2011</TD><TD>3</TD><TD>10.14</TD><TD>16</TD><TD>18745</TD><TD>19110</TD><TD>2011</TD><TD>4</TD><TD>7713.83</TD><TD>-0.01756</TD><TD>-1.75573</TD><TD>2</TD></TR><TR><TD>X13194E</TD><TD>2011</TD><TD>4</TD><TD>7.94</TD><TD>8.8</TD><TD>19214</TD><TD>19579</TD><TD>2011</TD><TD>8</TD><TD>8819.04</TD><TD>-0.03526</TD><TD>-3.52556</TD><TD>2</TD></TR><TR><TD>X13194E</TD><TD>2012</TD><TD>1</TD><TD>0.71</TD><TD>6.4</TD><TD>19296</TD><TD>19661</TD><TD>2012</TD><TD>10</TD><TD>9292.69</TD><TD>0.061905</TD><TD>6.190519</TD><TD>2</TD></TR><TR><TD>X13194E</TD><TD>2012</TD><TD>2</TD><TD>7.9</TD><TD>10</TD><TD>19388</TD><TD>19753</TD><TD>2012</TD><TD>1</TD><TD>9450.57</TD><TD>0.036804</TD><TD>3.6804</TD><TD>2</TD></TR><TR><TD>X13194E</TD><TD>2012</TD><TD>3</TD><TD>13.36</TD><TD>16.4</TD><TD>19110</TD><TD>19475</TD><TD>2012</TD><TD>4</TD><TD>9112.25</TD><TD>0.097753</TD><TD>9.775325</TD><TD>2</TD></TR><TR><TD>X13194E</TD><TD>2012</TD><TD>4</TD><TD>3.21</TD><TD>10.2</TD><TD>19578</TD><TD>19943</TD><TD>2012</TD><TD>8</TD><TD>9105.9</TD><TD>-0.0115</TD><TD>-1.14952</TD><TD>2</TD></TR><TR><TD>X13194E</TD><TD>2013</TD><TD>1</TD><TD>6.385</TD><TD>5.6</TD><TD>19659</TD><TD>20024</TD><TD>2013</TD><TD>10</TD><TD>9681.44</TD><TD>0.010461</TD><TD>1.04607</TD><TD>2</TD></TR><TR><TD>X13194E</TD><TD>2013</TD><TD>2</TD><TD>13.509</TD><TD>9.8</TD><TD>19753</TD><TD>20118</TD><TD>2013</TD><TD>1</TD><TD>9701.99</TD><TD>-0.03024</TD><TD>-3.02444</TD><TD>2</TD></TR><TR><TD>X13194E</TD><TD>2013</TD><TD>3</TD><TD>16.725</TD><TD>15.6</TD><TD>19474</TD><TD>19839</TD><TD>2013</TD><TD>4</TD><TD>9044.58</TD><TD>-0.01728</TD><TD>-1.72788</TD><TD>2</TD></TR><TR><TD>X13194E</TD><TD>2013</TD><TD>4</TD><TD>7.213</TD><TD>10</TD><TD>19942</TD><TD>20307</TD><TD>2013</TD><TD>8</TD><TD>10154.21</TD><TD>-0.02736</TD><TD>-2.73604</TD><TD>2</TD></TR><TR><TD>X13194E</TD><TD>2014</TD><TD>1</TD><TD>6.53</TD><TD>5.6</TD><TD>20023</TD><TD>20388</TD><TD>2014</TD><TD>10</TD><TD>10544.75</TD><TD>0.050631</TD><TD>5.063119</TD><TD>2</TD></TR><TR><TD>X13194E</TD><TD>2014</TD><TD>2</TD><TD>9.966</TD><TD>10.4</TD><TD>20117</TD><TD>20482</TD><TD>2014</TD><TD>1</TD><TD>9311.45</TD><TD>-0.1122</TD><TD>-11.2196</TD><TD>2</TD></TR><TR><TD>X13194E</TD><TD>2014</TD><TD>3</TD><TD>17.65</TD><TD>15.4</TD><TD>19841</TD><TD>20206</TD><TD>2014</TD><TD>4</TD><TD>10298.09</TD><TD>0.055309</TD><TD>5.530861</TD><TD>2</TD></TR><TR><TD>X13194E</TD><TD>2014</TD><TD>4</TD><TD>9.989</TD><TD>8</TD><TD>20310</TD><TD>20675</TD><TD>2014</TD><TD>8</TD><TD>9229.23</TD><TD>-0.0302</TD><TD>-3.02009</TD><TD>2</TD></TR><TR><TD>X13194E</TD><TD>2015</TD><TD>1</TD><TD>8.536</TD><TD>4.8</TD><TD>20390</TD><TD>20755</TD><TD>2015</TD><TD>10</TD><TD>9969.21</TD><TD>0.049979</TD><TD>4.997879</TD><TD>2</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE><P>&nbsp;</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>&nbsp;</P> Mon, 13 Feb 2017 05:33:52 GMT https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Programming/Creating-and-summarizing-monthly-portfolios/m-p/332070#M74709 chiaihuang 2017-02-13T05:33:52Z
