I have this dataset - it is bigger but the structure are similar.

I dont know how to make the formats so jeg just put the dollar sign.

 

 
data have;
infile datalines dsd;
input Method :$1. region :$1. PLACE :$12. DATE :ddmmyy10. value;
format date ddmmyy10.;
datalines;

B,H,testplace 2,20-01-2021,100
A,H,testplace 2,20-01-2021,98
;


I wish to have this output as a tabulate or freq:

 PLACEMETHOD AMETHOD B
REGION   
Htestplace 10 day0 days
 testplace 20 days0 days
 

 

so what i mean is :

testplace 1, method A, on date 12/01/2021,should be 0 days of waiting time because as the value is over 10.

testplace 1, method B, on date 12/01/2021,should be 0 days of waiting time because as the value is over 10.

testplace 1, method B, on date 20/01/2021,should be 1 days of waiting time because as the value is under 10 untill next day where it is over 10, if it was under 10 in the next day, and over 10 the day after that, then 2 days of waiting time.

testplace 1, method A, on date 20/01/2021,should be 0 days of waiting time because as the value is over 10.

The values are percentages so anything under 10% there will be a waiting time untill the value is at LEAST 10%

The rule is basicially "WAITING TIME UNTILL next day when the VALUE is over then 10"

Can someone please help with a code that can do this calculation?

Whenever you have to deal with blanks in character values, I recommend to use a comma as delimiter. Please check if this code creates your example dataset (your code won't run because of syntax errors, and once those are fixed, deal incorrectly with the blanks in PLACE):

data have;
infile datalines dsd;
input Method :$1. region :$1. PLACE :$12. DATE :ddmmyy10. value;
format date ddmmyy10.;
datalines;

I changed it in my question - hope that someone can help me

Based on the dataset as posted previously, try this:

proc sort data=have;
by region place method descending date;
run;

data comp;
set have;
by region place method;
retain _end;
format _end ddmmyy10.;
if first.method then _end = date + 1;
if value ge 10
then do;
  _end = date;
  days = 0;
end;
else do;
  days = ifn(_end ne .,_end - date,0);
end;
run;

proc sort data=comp;
by date region place method;
run;

proc transpose
  data=comp
  out=want (drop=_:)
  prefix=days_
;
by date region place;
var days;
id method;
run;

THANK YOU SO MUCH - IT HELPED AND WORKED!

Just one last question before closing this post - how can I make a proc report like this based on the results I got;

I have to run this code for every day - so the proc report/tabulate has to be based on the current dat:

Kurt_Bremser

Start with a simple PROC PRINT, and from there expand with TITLEs:

proc format;
picture daysfmt
  low-high = "009 days"
;
run;

%let repdate=%sysfunc(inputn(20210112,yymmdd8.));

proc print data=want noobs;
where date = &repdate;
format method: daysfmt.;
run;
mmea

I cant see anything - other than formats?

Should the proc print give me a proc report?

How can I make a proc tabulate like the one I showed in a proc report?

Should I add that under this ?

Kurt_Bremser
Super User

This is the result of the PROC PRINT:

DATE	region	PLACE	method_A	method_B
12/01/2021	H	testplace 1	0 days	0 days
12/01/2021	H	testplace 2	0 days	0 days

(the header line is shifted because of the tab width of the </> subwindow)

You don't need TABULATE or REPORT, as the data is already contained in dataset WANT.

Is it possible to make the want dataset a proc report, as I need to not show the dates and make a layout of colors

Kurt_Bremser

Replace the TRANSPOSE and PRINT with this:

proc report data=comp;
where date = &repdate;
column region place days,method n;
define region / group;
define place / group;
define method / across;
define days / "" display format=daysfmt.;
define n / noprint;
run;
