Hello lads,

 

I have a quick question, I have built a cumulative column which sums up the percentages until it reaches 100. Now what I want to do is to make a new column named RANKING, which only puts a 1 as a value for the first N rows who together/combined reach a minimum of 75%. Everything else has to stay blank.

 

So like this:

 

DATA HAVE

ID -- Location -- Section -- Date -- - Type -- perc% --Cuml.perc%

01 -- Germany -- BB         --1/1/20 --  VW --   20%  --20%

02 -- Germany -- AA         --1/1/20 --  AU --    20%  --40%

03 -- Germany -- AA         --1/1/20 --  AU --    30%  --70%

04 -- Germany -- BB         --1/1/20 --  AU --    10%  --80%

05 -- Germany -- BB         --1/1/20 --  MC --   10%  --90%

06 -- Germany -- BB         --1/1/20 --  VW --   10%  --100%

07 -- Germany -- AA         --2/1/20 --  OP --    25%   --25%

08 -- Germany -- AA         --2/1/20 --  AU --    40%   --65%

09 -- Germany -- BB         --2/1/20 --  MC --   20%   --85%

10 -- Germany -- BB         --2/1/20 --  MC --   5%     --90%

11 -- Germany -- AA         --2/1/20 --  OP --   5%     --95%

12 -- Germany -- AA         --2/1/20 --  VW --   5%    --100%

 

DATA WANT:

ID -- Location -- Section -- Date -- - Type -- perc% --Cuml.perc% --RANKING

01 -- Germany -- BB         --1/1/20 --  VW --   20%  --20%                   --  1

02 -- Germany -- AA         --1/1/20 --  AU --    20%  --40%                   --  1                        

03 -- Germany -- AA         --1/1/20 --  AU --    30%  --70%                   --  1 

04 -- Germany -- BB         --1/1/20 --  AU --    10%  --80%                   --  1

05 -- Germany -- BB         --1/1/20 --  MC --   10%  --90%                    --   

06 -- Germany -- BB         --1/1/20 --  VW --   10%  --100%                 --  

07 -- Germany -- AA         --2/1/20 --  OP --    25%   --25%                  --   1

08 -- Germany -- AA         --2/1/20 --  AU --    40%    --65%                  --   1

09 -- Germany -- BB         --2/1/20 --  MC --   20%   --85%                    --  1

10 -- Germany -- BB         --2/1/20 --  MC --   5%      --90%                   --   

11 -- Germany -- AA         --2/1/20 --  OP --   5%     --95%                     -- 

12 -- Germany -- AA         --2/1/20 --  VW --   5%    --100%                    --

 

I hope its clear guys, I appreciate your help. Thank you in advance!

data want;
set have;
by location date;
retain ranking;
if first.date then ranking = 1;
output;
if cum_perc > 75 then ranking = .;
run;

Untested, for lack of usable data.

Thanks Kurt,

I think I can use this one if I change a few things, for now it says 'by variables not properly sorted'.

Hello @Kurt_Bremser and @kelxxx 

 

The code you gave me worked perfectly until I got a first variable who directly was greater then or equal to 0.75. That one did not get a ranking 1. It only gets a ranking when the first codes few coded together reach 0.75 but like I said now I have one who directly reaches 0.75+. This is the code I used right now, but it doesnt work: 

data matselectie1;
	set percentage_count;
	Selectie=lag(totpercentage);

	if totpercentage le 0.75 then
		Selectie=1;
	else if FIRST.totpercentage=1 ge 0.75 then
		Selectie=1;
	else if Selectie lt 0.75 then
		Selectie=1;
	else Selectie=.;
run;
