I would like to calculate the number of loansa company had for the past 5 years. What is the SAS SQL code to do this?

Here is the have table:

 See example 12 + a WHERE clause. 

http://www.listendata.com/2014/04/proc-sql-select-statement.html

 

 

If you run into issues post the code and log and explain your issue in detail.

I tried this code but I am not sure if it is right?

 

proc SQL;
create table want  as
select a.* , count(unique b.LoanID) as NUMLOANS
from have as a
left join have as b
on a.CompanyID=b.CompanyID and a.FYEAR=b.FYEAR+5; quit;

You join a table when you have information in another table or rows that you need. 

Nothing in your question of indicates a need for a join. Remove the join and use a where. I would recommend hardcoding the years first and then making it dynamic after you sort out the rest of the code. 

 

Unless you were looking for a moving average? Nothing in your question mentions this though. 

Agent1592

No I do not want a moving average. I would like a moving count of the number of loans over the past 5 years. Thank you.

Is this correct?

 

proc SQL;
create table want as
select * , count(unique LoanID) as LOANFREQ
from have where FYEAR<=FYEAR+5
group by LoanID,CompanyID, fyear
order by CompanyID,fyear,LoanID; quit;

Reeza

LoanID can't be in your group statement since you want a count for it..

 

If you want a moving count (my mistake in average vs count) you do need a join. If you search through my posts in last week there's a good example of the three different methods in someone else's question. 

Astounding
PROC Star

If I'm interpreting your question correctly, this is too complex an approach.  When you say the past 5 years, don't you want:

 

  • One observation per company
  • A count of number of loans in the time period FYEAR >= 2011

If so, that's much easier.  SQL can do this in one step.  PROC FREQ can do it in two steps:

 

proc freq data=have;

tables CompanyID * LoanID / noprint out=counts;

where fyear >= 2011;

run;

proc freq data=counts;

tables CompanyID;

run;

Thanks, I am looking for a moving count though. Not only 2011-2016 but since inception.
mkeintz
PROC Star

Rolling counts through (ugh!) SQL.  Assuming you have one record per loan in dataset HAVE, and each loan is a five year loan, orginating in year FYEAR:

Edit: forget the companyid:

 

proc sql;
  create table want as 
    select companyid, year, count(*) 
    from (
       (select companyid, fyear+0 as year from have) outer union corresponding
       (select companyid, fyear+1 as year from have) outer union corresponding
       (select companyid, fyear+2 as year from have) outer union corresponding
       (select companyid, fyear+3 as year from have) outer union corresponding
       (select companyid, fyear+4 as year from have)
        )
    group by companyid, year;
quit;

 

 

 

A far better way would be:

 

data need (keep=year)/view=need;
  set have;
  do year=fyear to fyear+4;
    output;
  end;
run;
proc freq data=need;
  tables companyid *year /list;
run;

 

 

--------------------------
The hash OUTPUT method will overwrite a SAS data set, but not append. That can be costly. Consider voting for Add a HASH object method which would append a hash object to an existing SAS data set

Would enabling PROC SORT to simultaneously output multiple datasets be useful? Then vote for
Allow PROC SORT to output multiple datasets

--------------------------
Astounding
PROC Star

Since you want a moving count, I would modify what you started doing:

 

proc SQL;
create table want  as
select a.* , count(unique b.LoanID) as NUMLOANS
from have as a
left join have as b
on a.CompanyID=b.CompanyID and a.FYEAR=b.FYEAR+5; quit;

quit;

 

 

The first fix, is what gets counted.  (You'll have to check my syntax on this since my SQL is suspect.)

 

count(distinct b.CompanyID, b.LoanID)

 

Secondly, change to a WHERE condition instead of a join:

 

where a.CompanyID=b.CompanyID and (a.FYEAR >= b.FYEAR) and (a.FYEAR - 4 <= b.FYEAR)

 

You can adjust the time periods if I didn't get the 5-year window correctly.

No i don't necessarily need SQL. If there is an easier SAS code I can use that. Thanks
