Hi All - I am trying to (as efficiently as possible) create a table of year-over year forecasted values using a set of growth rates. My data appears as follows below. All of the data from 2020 to 2021 is given.
Starting in January of 2022 is where my forecast begins. For year 2022, month 1, my forecast, for each observation (e.g. A_Z1, A_Z2, etc.), should be equal to its respective value in year 2021, month 1 (i.e. a lag of 12 months) multiplied by (1 + growth). So, for instance, the first forecasted value of A_Z1 would be: lag12(A_Z1)*(1 + growth).
For year 2022, month 2, my forecast, for each observation should be equal to the value in year 2021, month 2 multiplied by (1 + growth). Rinse and repeat until the end of the forecast period. Any suggestions on how to most efficiently write this in SAS is much appreciated. Thanks.
year | month | A_Z1 | A_Z2 | A_Z3 | A_Z4 | A_total | B_Z1 | B_Z2 | B_Z3 | B_Z4 | B_total | C_Z1 | C_Z2 | C_Z3 | C_Z4 | C_total | growth |

Please provide data as working SAS data step code, as requested in your previous question (Examples and instructions)
I can't get the macro in the instructions you posted to work on my end. The data I posted is from an .xlsx workbook, it should copy and paste into Excel so you can load the data into SAS from there. Sorry I can't be of more help in getting you the format needed.

We can't work from Excel files. We need SAS data sets.

It is easy to convert the tab delimited table in your post to a program with UltraEdit. I don't understand your description of the problem. Seems like multiply 2022 by 1.015 and you are done. Show worked example of a couple of obs.
