PROC SUMMARY will find the sum by month and city. Then you can take the output from PROC SUMMARY, sort it by city and month, then in a data step, use the LAG function to find the differences.

Hi @hk2013   A good excercise for me to personally practice and test myself 🙂 Thank you for the fun question

Are you programming or using the GUI in EG?

In SQL, that would be:

 

proc sql;
select
    a.city, 
    a.month, 
    a.mCount,
    a.mCount-b.mCount as countChange
from
    (select city, month, sum(count) as mCount 
     from have group by city, month) as a left join
    (select city, month, sum(count) as mCount 
     from have group by city, month) as b 
        on a.city=b.city and a.month=intnx("month", b.month, 1)
order by month, city;
quit;

This will give the correct answer even if there are some missing months.
