Creating a Year-to-go indicator on a calculated field

Renan_Crepaldi — Tue, 28 Jul 2020 12:53:25 GMT

Hi everyone!

I'm kinda new to the SAS VA and I'm not being able to create a specific calculated field.

The idea is to calculate the average revenue/coupons we'll have to make on the rest of the year to complete our year goal.

My data is on the store level, so I'll have to aggregate it to make these as big numbers. I've attached a sample of the table I'm using.

The difficult part is to calculate the amount of months left in the year to use it as the denominator. Using the revenue as example, the formula I thought was something like:

Sum [_ForAll_] ((
IF ( Month('anoMesData'n) <= ( Month(DatePart(Now())) - 1 ) )
RETURN 'revenueGoal2020'
ELSE . )) -
Sum [_ForAll_] ((
IF ( Month('anoMesData'n) <= ( Month(DatePart(Now())) - 1 ) )
RETURN 'revenue2020'
ELSE . ))/
202012 - Month(DatePart(Now()))

Is this the best way to make this calculation?

Thanks!

Just to clarify, the equation I'm trying to make is:

(Year Revenue Goal 2020 - YTD Revenue 2020)/(Months left on 2020)

This would be the same for the coupons

Just updating:

I was able to put the logic on a formula, but it's giving an error because the denominator is not aggregated.

The formula I've programmed is:

( Sum [_ForAll_] ('revenueGoal2020'n) / Sum [_ForAll_] ((
IF ( Month('DATE'n) <= ( Month(DatePart(Now())) - 1 ) )
RETURN 'revenue2020'n
ELSE . )) ) / ( 12 - ( Month(DatePart(Now())) - 1 ) )

Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks!

Hello!

So, a person from my area was able to help me on this problem. I only needed to put a function to aggregate the data of the denominator.

The formula that worked stayed like this:

( Sum [_ForAll_] ('revenueGoal2020'n) - Sum [_ForAll_] ((
IF ( Month('MONTH_YEAR'n) <= ( Month(DatePart(Now())) - 1 ) )
RETURN 'revenue2020'n
ELSE . )) ) / Max [_ForAll_] (( 12 - ( Month(DatePart(Now())) -
1 ) ))
