Hi
I want to calculate a mean for a specific day for example here 13-01-2020 using observation 02-01-2020 and 06-01-2020
data ind;
input gvkey datadate : yymmdd10. TRT1M;
format date yymmdd10.;
cards;
1 2020-01-02 -1.35
1 2020-01-03 -1.48
1 2020-01-06 2.40
1 2020-01-07 -0.85
1 2020-01-08 -0.24
1 2020-01-09 2.49
1 2020-01-10 1.68
1 2020-01-13 -1.69
1 2020-01-14 -0.91
1 2020-01-15 -0.93
1 2020-01-16 2.71
1 2020-01-17 -0.05
1 2020-01-20 1.69
1 2020-01-21 -3.64
1 2020-01-22 1.24
1 2020-01-23 -2.05
1 2020-01-24 -2.97
1 2020-01-27 -0.78
1 2020-01-28 3.09
;
output that I want
gvkey datadate TRT1M wantedmean
1 2020-01-02 -1.35
1 2020-01-03 -1.48
1 2020-01-06 2.40

1 2020-01-09 2.49
1 2020-01-10 1.68
1 2020-01-13 -1.69 -0,14
1 2020-01-14 -0.91
1 2020-01-15 -0.93
1 2020-01-16 2.71

1 2020-01-23 -2.05
1 2020-01-24 -2.97
1 2020-01-27 -0.78
1 2020-01-28 3.09
proc summary data=ind(where=('02JAN2020'd<=datadate<='06JAN2020'd));
var trt1m;
output out=_stats_(drop=_:) mean=mean;
run;
data want;
if _n_=1 then set _stats_;
set ind;
if datadate='13JAN2020'd then wantedmean=mean;
drop mean;
run;
I suspect the problem is more general than you stated. To calculate the one mean is very simple, but again I'm guessing the real problem is a larger data set with many means being calculated. In that case, it's not clear why the mean that gets placed next to 2020-01-13 is the mean of 2020-01-02 through 2020-01-06, and what other means gets calculated from what time periods. Can you explain further?
here the problem is just to calculate one mean when fixing just one interval
proc summary data=ind(where=('02JAN2020'd<=datadate<='06JAN2020'd));
var trt1m;
output out=_stats_(drop=_:) mean=mean;
run;
data want;
if _n_=1 then set _stats_;
set ind;
if datadate='13JAN2020'd then wantedmean=mean;
drop mean;
run;
