Hi everyone,
I have a variable called "Weeks_Days" which is in weeks with the decimal part indicating number of days (e.g. 20.3 = 20 weeks and three days = 20*7+3 = 143 days)
Is that a way to convert those data in days?
10 ==> 70
20.3 ==> 143
38.6 ==> 272
Cheers,
Jess
NumOfDays = (7*int(Week_Days)) + (10*(Week_Days - int(Week_Days)));
data test;
week_days=38.6;
days=10*(week_days-floor(week_days));
weeks=floor(week_days);
num_days=(weeks*7)+days;
run;
Sounds like a goid reason to learn about compiling user-defined functions with PROC FCMP
Unless there is a base-7 counting solution like for octal and binary

I would suggest:
days =
7*int(weeks_days)
+ int(10*mod(weeks_days, 1));
data _null_; a=10; aa=int(a)*7 + mod(a*10,10); put a= aa=; a=20.3; aa=int(a)*7 + mod(a*10,10); put a= aa=; a=38.6; aa=int(a)*7 + mod(a*10,10); put a= aa=; run;

NumOfDays = (7*int(Week_Days)) + (10*(Week_Days - int(Week_Days)));
