I want to do using loops
Hi, i have below data
p=100000
interest=10%
will be the total amount after 4 years
i want below screen result
Year | Principal | interest | sum |
1 | 100000 | 0.1 | 110000 |
2 | 11000 | 0.1 | 12100 |
3 | 12100 | 0.1 | 13310 |
4 | 13310 | 0.1 | 14641 |

I already supplied the code.
I usually solve such problems a little differently, though:
data test;
base = 100000;
int = .10;
do i = 0 to 5;
p = base * (1 + int) ** i;
output;
end;
run;
With that formula, you can calculate the value for any year in one single step.
Please show the code you already have (as this "problem" is really simple), and where it does not meet your expectations.
If you get unexpected messages in the log, post the log of the whole step.
i just started learning SAS.
data test;
p=100000;
int=.10;
do i = 1 to 5;
p+p*int;
end;
run;
this code will over right the orginal data

When you run a data step that does not have an explicit output statement, SAS will do one everytime it reaches the end of a data step iteration. See it as a hidden "output" right before the run statement.
If you do not have a statement that let's SAS iterate automatically (like a set that reads from a dataset), then SAS will only do one iteration, and that's it.
So in your case, SAS performs the loop, and then writes one observation with the final values.
To get a series of observations, add the explicit output statement:
data test;
p = 100000;
int = .10;
do i = 1 to 5;
p + p * int;
output;
end;
run;

if i invest $5000 each year in account . after 15 yrs annual rate=10% and compound annual interest rate=10%.
also if a fixed term deposite of 25 yrs . Clculate total amount end of term with initial amount 1,00,000. annual interst rate 7%
.find compounded annually and monthly .
