summing monthly rows to arrive at fiancial year total

[Phil_from_PGA]

Hi, I have data such as below and need to sum the sales by month to get a financial year total for 2013-14 and separately for 2014-15 where financial year for 2013-14 is July 2013 to June 2014 and for 2014-15 it is July 2014 to June 2015. That is, 2013-14 should sum to 342 and 2014-15 to 269. I also don't know how to turn the variable called monthly to a SAS month format in creating the example dataset below.

data have;

input monthly sales;

datalines;

JUL2013 9

Using proper SAS dates usually makes things simpler (once you understand how it all works)

data have;
input monthStr $ sales;
month = input(cats("01",monthStr),date9.);
format month monyy7.;
fy = year(intnx("year.7", month,0)); 
drop monthStr;
datalines;
