I have a dataset with variables date, firm id, dummy and asset. What I want to achieve is for each date, each firm id, calculate a weight for each observation according to asset when dummy=0, and do the same for dummy=1. A simple example is as below
date firm id dummy asset weight
1 A 0 50 50/(50+50)=0.5
1 A 0 50 50/(50+50)=0.5
1 A 1 20 20/(20+80)=0.2
1 A 1 80 80/(20+80)=0.8
I want to get the weight shown above. How can I use proc sql to get the results? Or other ways?
Thanks.
Hi,
Please try the below code
data have;
input date firm_id$ dummy asset;
cards;
1 A 0 50
1 A 0 50
1 A 1 20
1 A 1 80
;
proc sql;
create table want as select date,firm_id,dummy,asset,asset/sum(asset) as weight from have
group by date,firm_id,dummy;
quit;
Thanks,

Thanks. I am going to try it, but it seems to be correct.
