Create cummulative overview in 1 step in stead of several steps / procs...?

Wouter — Tue, 04 Jan 2011 15:28:15 GMT

Hi,

I've got a question again! Should be simple (I think...), but not for me...

I've got a dataset with dates (so including full daynumbers) beginning at 2008, including amounts and intems. What I want is a cummulative overview per month of the data (so at the end of all periods a total of sold items including a total of the bucks / EUR / $). Little example:

Date (DMY) Amount Number
01-01-2008 10 5
01-01-2008 15 7
02-02-2008 9 4
05-02-2008 15 6
01-01-2009 20 10
01-01-2009 1 1
05-06-2009 3 2
04-06-2010 20 8
01-01-2010 25 12

And I want my output something like:

01-01-2008 25 13
02-02-2008 24 10
01-01-2009 21 11
05-06-2009 23 10
01-01-2010 25 12

When I try something like this, I have to use at least 2 datasteps: to gether the data, to format the data, to create extra variables, and to create a proc report including an "out" statement.

If it is possible (what I think, do loops?), I do want to have this process in 1 datastep. Does anyone have any idea? Thanks for your input in advance!!

Data test1;
set X;
format sldo_ultmo_per_bkng comma12.;
datum = former_datetime/86400;
format datum comma12.;
_year=year(datum); _month=month(datum);
counter=1; * --> to compute the number of items in the proc report below...;
run;

proc report data=test1 out=test2;
Columns _year _month sldo_ultmo_per_bkng counter;
define Jaar / group width=20 order=internal;
define Maand/ group width=20 order=internal;
define sldo_ultmo_per_bkng / sum;
define counter / n;
run;

Look at using the INTNX function and "MONTHS" for argument #1. Also, you can consider using a SAS output format to display year/month components only. Your code can accumulate based on the "PERIOD" derived variable:

FORMAT PERIOD YYMMS7. ;
PERIOD = INTNX('MONTH',,0);

Also, PROC SUMMARY can do the summarization for you, to include an internal sort using the CLASS statement, as well generate your _FREQ_ variable, which could feed your report step, as required. And, it's possible that PROC REPORT with GROUP can do something similar.

Hi,

Please try below code and let me know...

proc sql;
create table test1 as
select b.date as date1 format=ddmmyy10., sum(amt) as amt, sum(nbr) as nbr
from test a left join (select min(date) as date format=mmddyy10. from test group by month(date), year(date)) b
on month(a.date)=month(b.date) and year(a.date)=year(b.date)
group by b.date;
quit;

Please check once you required output that u have mentioned wrong as per your input.
It might be a typo...

As required monthly totals in one step , use above code.

As Udaydudu said.

[pre]
Date (DMY) Amount Number
01-01-2008 10 5
01-01-2008 15 7
02-02-2008 9 4
05-02-2008 15 6
01-01-2009 20 10
01-01-2009 1 1
05-06-2009 3 2
04-06-2010 20 8
01-01-2010 25 12

01-01-2008 25 13
02-02-2008 24 10
01-01-2009 21 11
05-06-2009 23 10
01-01-2010 25 12
[/pre]

Is it right?
And whether do you want only one data step ? or maybe consider use proc sql which has more flexibility.
And the dataset is already sorted by date?

Ok.anyway.
If you do not mind output looks like this:
[pre]
amount_ number_
date Sum Sum

JAN2008 25 12
FEB2008 24 10
JAN2009 21 11
JUN2009 23 10
JAN2010 25 12
[/pre]

[pre]
data sum;
input date : ddmmyy10. amount number;
datalines;
01-01-2008 10 5
01-01-2008 15 7
02-02-2008 9 4
05-02-2008 15 6
01-01-2009 20 10
01-01-2009 1 1
05-06-2009 3 2
04-06-2009 20 8
01-01-2010 25 12
run;

proc means data=sum nway;
class date;
format date monyy7.;
var amount number;
output out=result(drop= _type_ _freq_) sum= /autoname;
run;
proc print noobs;run;

Hello,

Assuming your data set is sorted one solution to do it in a single data step follows:

data out;
set in end=z;

retain prev_m prev_y new_date;

act_m=month(date);
act_y=year(date);

if act_m=prev_m and act_y=prev_y then do;
tot_am+amount;
tot_nb+number;
end;

else do ;
ac=_N_-1;
if ac gt 0 then do;
set in(drop=_all_) point=ac;
output;
end;
tot_am=amount;
tot_nb=number;
new_date=date;

end;

prev_m=month(date);
prev_y=year(date);

if z then output;

keep new_date tot_am tot_nb;

format new_date date7.;

run;
