Bascially i want to perform calculation that allocates the negative values to the cells with the positive values in proportion to the split of the positive values.

So the above table would become:

X1X2X3X4X5
00=50+(-15)*(50/200)=50+(-15)*(50/200)=100+(-15)*(100/200)

To achive this i need to sum the negative values, the posive values and then apply a condition formula like if X1 <0 then X1 =0; else X1 = X1 + (sumNeg)*(X1)/(sumPos);

or something like that

Is this easy to do?

data want(keep=x1-x5);

set have;

array x{*} x1-x5;

sum_neg=0;

sum_pos=0;

do i=1 to dim(x);

if x{i}<0 then sum_neg+x{i};

else sum_pos+x{i};

if x{i}<0 then x{i}=0;

end;

do i=1 to dim(x);

x{i} = x{i} + sum_neg*x{i}/sum_Pos;

end;

run;
