Hello All,

I have a requirement where I have a dataset which has the  days a technician visits a customer.We are only considering weekdays(Mon-Fri).If a technician did not visit the a particular customer

on a weekday then I need to identify that and populate a  flag as "NO Visit".Is there any way to achive this based on the below example?

eg:  Customer_name   TechVist_day

           John                02JAN2012

           John                03JAN2012

           John                05JAN2012       

           John                06JAN2012

           John                09JAN2012

            Mary               02JAN2012

           Mary                03JAN2012

           Sam                03JAN2012

           Sam                04JAN2012                     

Requirement 1: From the above example I need to populate the flag as "NO Visit" for 04JAN2012 for the customer John and same with customer Sam for 02JAN2012.

Requirement 1 was met through the valuable inputs from LINLIN and ANDREAS_IDS.

Now I need to run the code on a monthly basis and based on the above example,the John's the last record's TechVist_day is 09JAN2012..I need to set the flag for all weekdays after 09JAN2012 till the end of the month(same for Mary 03JAN2012 and SAM 04JAN2012).Please share your thoughts.

How about:

data have;
input Customer_name $  TechVist_day : date9.;
format  TechVist_day date9.;
cards;
           John                02JAN2012
           John                03JAN2012
           John                05JAN2012       
           John                06JAN2012
           John                09JAN2012
            Mary               02JAN2012
           Mary                03JAN2012
           Sam                03JAN2012
           Sam                04JAN2012   
;
run;
data want;
 set have;
 by Customer_name;
 output;
 if last.Customer_name then do;
  do TechVist_day=TechVist_day+1 to intnx('month',TechVist_day,0,'e');
   if weekday(TechVist_day) not in (1 7) then output;
  end;
end;
run;
