Hello Guru's;
I have a SAS date and want to convert it to week day of the year (for mulitple years).
For example 08JAN2009 show as '2 week of 2009'.
Can anybody please advise?
Thanks
Sorry, I just noticed your code. You never stipulated a variable for SAS to create. Try something like:
data xyz;
set web.pmrate (keep= customer datefield);
week=week(datefield, 'v');
run;
You could use the week function. i.e.:
WEEK( date <, 'descriptor'> )
returns the week of year from a SAS date value. The algorithm used to calculate the week depends on the descriptor.
If the descriptor is 'U,' weeks start on Sunday and the range is to . If weeks and exist, they are only partial weeks. Week 52 can be a partial week.
If the descriptor is 'V', the result is equivalent to the ISO 8601 week of year definition. The range is to . Week is a leap week. The first week of the year, Week , and the last week of the year, Week or , can include days in another Gregorian calendar year.
If the descriptor is 'W', weeks start on Monday and the range is to . If weeks and exist, they are only partial weeks. Week 52 can be a partial week.
