I have a dataset that looks like:

 

Variable name

qy                        balance

2010 Q1              100

2010 Q1              100

2010 Q2              150

2010 Q2              150

2010 Q3              50

2010 Q3              50

2010 Q4              20

2010 Q4              20

2011 Q1              300

2011 Q2              300

 

and I would like to create a new variable sum_balance_per_quarter that has the sum of the balances per quarter i.e. desired output:

 

  

Variable name

qy                        balance             sum_balance_per_quarter 

2010 Q1              100                    200

2010 Q1              100                    200

2010 Q2              150                    300

2010 Q2              150                    300

2010 Q3              50                      100

2010 Q3              50                      100

2010 Q4              20                       40

2010 Q4              20                       40

2011 Q1              300                      600

2011 Q2              300                      600

 

 

 

How can I do that?

Hello adrfinance,

 

data testInput;
input qy $ balance;
datalines;
2010Q1 100
2010Q1 100
2010Q2 150
2010Q2 150
2010Q3 50
2010Q3 50
2010Q4 20
2010Q4 20
2011Q1 300
2011Q2 300
run;

 

proc sql;
SELECT qy, balance,
SUM (balance) as sum_balance_per_quarter
from testInput
GROUP BY qy;
quit;

 

Or you can improveit with subquery to show the overall Total Balance:

 

proc sql;
select qy,balance,sum_balance_per_quarter,SUM(sum_balance_per_quarter) as Total from (SELECT qy, balance,
SUM (balance) as sum_balance_per_quarter
from testInput
GROUP BY qy) as Result;
quit;

 

Hope it helps
