To note on that, it is advisable - to make your life programming easier, to normalise that data.  I.e. have one row for each month/year and result:

TIMEPOINT    RESULT

201601           0.9

201602           0.6

...

 

This makes programming much easier - the structure of the dataset doesn't change each time based on the data (as the months and years is data).  Also keeps the number of columns down to a reasonble size.  You can always transpose this data back up for a report if you need to.

Thank you for your advice. Indeed the real problem is to calculate a compound Index.
For example: I have a Started value of 3,000 for Jan. I need to extend the Series by Months to Dec, with an assumption of a decrease each month by 1.3%.
This is another way of seeing it.
Thank you a lot,
Bernardita

Thank you for your advice. Yes indeed this is a long way of doing something that I believe it can be a lot simpler. I will try to see it in a simple way.

Hi,

 

I am afraid attaching Excel sheets is not a good idea, I wouldn't download them as they are a security risk.  Please post test data, in the form of a datastep (to avoid us having to type it all out), and an example output of what you want.

Hello,

 

Apologies for attaching an Excel file. Only because the browser at work is not supported by SAS.

I have received a reply though and it worked perfectly. It's what's I needed. 

Thank you very much for your help.
