Hi,
I have data where todays closing becomes next days opening after calculations in Base SAS Code I have written and I have data from Jan2016 to Jul2016 so what is happening here is when I run one time data for 1st jan matches when I run second time data for 2nd jan matches and so on but how to cut down this repeting process short so that I can get all the matching values in one go.
Thnaks,
Please give a sample example of your data and the output you want.
Please provide the dataset for further reference and to drill down on the question
Thanks
Vamsi.
We're all guessing, but this might be what you want: compute today's opening.
If so, the opening for the first day can't be computed. But here's one approach to get as much as possible from the data:
proc sort data=have;
by company date;
run;
data want;
set have;
by company;
opening = lag(closing);
if first.company then opening=.;
run;
