Hello,
I have a large data set that I need to subset the data set between two specific dates. I would need to get the sales data only from 01/01/2005 to 12/31/2005.
Data set name: sales
variable name: sales_date
variable name: sold_item
variable name: quantity
------------------------------------------------------
sales_date | sold_item | quantity
12/24/2003 | printer | 233
11/10/2005 | printer | 130
07/24/2005 | phone | 256
09/26/2005 | ipad | 239
01/24/2006 | ipad | 542
01/17/2006 | notebook | 328
Thanks,
Roger
Essentially,
proc sql;
create table want as
select *
from have
where sales_date between '01JAN2012'd and '31DEC2012'd;
quit;
OR you could do it in data step.
data want;
set have;
where '01JAN2012'd<=sales_date<='31DEC2012'd;
run;
Hi Roger,
Have you tried with Proc sql with where clause includeing between and and.
like : where sales_date between 12/24/2003 and 07/24/2005
