I still don't know if I fully understand the problem you are trying to solve, but the following matches your test data results:

proc sql noprint;

  create table want as

    select distinct a.portid,a.firmid,a.myear,a.return,b.sumreturn, b.cntreturn,bportid

      from return as a

        left join

          (select portid as bportid, myear, sum(return) as sumreturn, count(return) as cntreturn

               from return group by myear,bportid) as b

             on a.myear=b.myear

               where a.portid ne bportid

                 order by firmid,myear,portid

  ;

quit;

data want (drop=next_measure prev_measure measure);

  set want;

  by firmid myear;

  set want ( firstobs = 2 keep = return rename = (return = Next_Measure) )

      want (      obs = 1 drop = _all_                                     );

  Prev_Measure = ifn( first.myear, (.), lag(return) );

  Next_Measure = ifn(  last.myear, (.), Next_Measure );

  if not (first.myear and last.myear) then do;

    if first.myear then measure=next_measure;

    else measure=prev_measure;

 

    sumreturn=sumreturn-measure;

    cntreturn=cntreturn-1;

  end;

  average=sumreturn/cntreturn;

run;

proc sort data=want;

  by myear portid  firmid;

run;

You apparently updated your post at the same time as I sent you a response.  Take a look at what I had sent.

Thank you Arthur (art297) for spending your valuable time helping me out. Your updated version indeed generates the desirable output. However, it will take me a while to digest what exactly is going on in the code and to make sure that I can comfortably apply to my large data set. I am really sorry that I have not made my inquiry very clear. Maybe the story below may shed some light:

Imagine that you have two portfolios (portid 1 and 2) and company A is in both portid 1 and portid2. Portid 1 also contains Companies B and C. Portid 2 contains Companies D and E. In short,

Portid 1: A, B, C

Portid 2: A, D, E

I am interested in calculating an average value for each company by averaging returns of companies in other portfolios. For example,

average for C: (A+D+E)/3, all of which come from portid 2 (A is common)

average for E: (A+B+C)/3, all of which come from portid 1

average for A in portid 1= (D+E)/2

average for A in portid 2=(B+C)/2

Overall, I have two rules: a company's average return must exclude its own return (as in A) and must only include returns from other portfolios.

I hope my objective is clearer now.

As long as your real data is limited to two portfolios I think the code will work.  In the case where there is only one portfolio, it simply takes the average.  In the case where there are two portfolios, it gets the revenue to removed from the other portfolio.

Thank you for your further explanations. In this project, I have 50 portfolios, but sometimes it gets as high as 400. I should then be careful about the portfolio size.

If you post an example with 3 portfolios, and the results you want, we can test whether the methodology holds.

I just realized that my program also does not work when I have more than two portfolios. See the data set below. For example, for portid=6 and firmid=620, the average should be calculated averaging returns all of companies in portid 1 through portid 5 (where myear=200302), but all of the suggestions seem to calculate 4 or 5 different average for portid=6 and firmid=620.

There was a mistake in my decision, but it still works for your problem.

Here step by step (so it'll be easier to check the correctness of all steps):

Just copypaste and run it.

If you wish so, as proposed by DanielSantos, you can integrate everything in one sql query.

Just substitute the ( sql code ) of a certain table instead of it's alias in a final query, but as I mentioned above - it will be hard to check the correctness, while maximum momentary hard-disk space consumption would be the same.

I checked it manually for several firmids, portfolios and years and still think - that this will solve your task.

OK, now your last sample is a good one.

I've updated my proposal (in blue) to suit the multiplicity of the data. It's actually just a matter of grouping the data. Again, as along as there is no dups by portid, firmid and myear, I think it will do what you need in a efficiently manner.

Logic is the same from my previous post, average the cross join (with the convenient clause) aggregates by portid/myear and firmid/myear subtracting the current return, which is not to be considered.

proc sql noprint;

create table want (drop = _:) as

select a.portid, a.firmid, a.myear, a.return,

       sum(b.sumreturn)-c.sumreturn+a.return as _sum, sum(b.cntreturn)-c.cntreturn+1 as _cnt,

       calculated _sum / calculated _cnt as avgreturn

       from

       return as a,

       (select portid, myear, sum(return) as sumreturn, count(return) as cntreturn from return group by portid, myear) as b,

       (select firmid, myear, sum(return) as sumreturn, count(return) as cntreturn from return group by firmid, myear) as c

where a.portid ne b.portid and a.myear eq b.myear and a.firmid eq c.firmid and b.myear eq c.myear

group by a.portid, a.firmid,  a.myear, a.return;

quit;

Cool. I tested it and result on a sample coincides with mine. And it's shorter!
