Dear all:
I'm a beginner user of SAS and struggling with constructing a database. The original one looks like:
OFTIC TICKER MEASURE VALUE ACTUAL ANNDATS_ACT
A 1 EPS 0.1 0.9 2015/01/30
A 1 EPS 0.5 0.9 2015/01/30
A 1 EPS 0.8 0.9 2015/01/30
A 1 BPS 0.5 0.8 2015/01/30
A 1 BPS 0.4 0.8 2015/01/30
A 1 BPS 0.2 0.8 2015/01/30
A 1 CPS 1.5 3.5 2015/01/30
A 1 CPS 2.8 3.5 2015/01/30
A 1 CPS 5.5 3.5 2015/01/30
I would like to add columns that show the mean VALUE and the ACTUAL of each measure grouping by OFTIC, TICKER, ANNDATS_ACT. The table I want to create looks like:
OFTIC TICKER ANNDATS_ACT EPS_AVG EPS_ACTUAL BPS_AVG BPS_ACTUAL
A 1 2015/01/30 0.466 0.9 0.366 0.8
CPS_AVG CPS_ACTUAL
3.266 3.5
I'm trying to make it through just dividing the original database by MEASURE and merging them. However, there are over 24 different measures and thousands of observations.
Could anybody give a piece of advice to me? Any comments would be highly appreciated.
Thank you.
Hi @AzamonTuscomer Looks fairly straight forward
data have;
input (OFTIC TICKER MEASURE) ($) VALUE ACTUAL ANNDATS_ACT :yymmdd10.;
format ANNDATS_ACT yymmdd10.;
