SAS works with SAS datasets. Please post your example dataset as a data step using the macro from https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Communities-Library/How-to-create-a-data-step-version-of-your-dat...
Excel files do not convey structural information about SAS datasets, and they can carry malware, so they are blocked on many corporate firewalls for security reasons.
Here is our sas bdat
So you want to extract 4 lines of data from your dataset. What is the functional rule for extracting/building those lines?
I want to select the contract weely which begin at 11/01/2013, such as begin at (varible name datadate) 11/01/2013, expriate at 11/08/2013, and then datadate=11/08/2013, expriation date is 11/16/2013, since 11/16/2013 is holiday, market not opened at that day, so next contract is from 11/15/2013 to 11/22/2013. Finaly, we pick up all the contrcat which
datadate expriation
11/01/2013 11/08/2013
11/08/2013 11/16/2013
11/15/2013 11/22/2013
11/22/2013 11/29/2013
I think we can use lag function to do that, but I don't know how to coding it.
Good news: We've extended SAS Hackathon registration until Sept. 12, so you still have time to be part of our biggest event yet – our five-year anniversary!
