Dear All,
I have a SAS dataset with numerator & denominator for each month-year & I would like to carry forward the sum of these numerators & denominators for upto 15 months from each row month-year value.
I have:
Month_Yr | Num | Den |
Dec-2018 | 10 | 15 |
Jan-2019 | 40 | 56 |
Feb-2019 | 35 | 40 |
Mar-2019 | 26 | 37 |
Apr-2019 | 34 | 37 |
May-2019 | 67 | 68 |
Jun-2019 | 24 | 24 |
Jul-2019 | 54 | 58 |
Aug-2019 | 56 | 57 |
Sep-2019 | 29 | 35 |
Oct-2019 | 40 | 45 |
Nov-2019 | 26 | 26 |
Dec-2019 | 45 | 47 |
Jan-2020 | 36 | 37 |
Feb-2020 | 35 | 40 |
Mar-2020 | 20 | 30 |
Apr-2020 | 16 | 26 |
May-2020 | 46 | 50 |
I want: for each date, look back 15 months & include those values in the sum (Num_sum for numerator sums, for example). Here the 1st 15 month cut off ends at Mar 2020, so starting Apr 2020, I want the sum to include all "num" values except the Dec-2018 (as it is >15 months back in time).
Month_Yr | Num | Den | Sum_Num |
Dec-2018 | 10 | 15 | 10 |
Jan-2019 | 40 | 56 | 50 |
Feb-2019 | 35 | 40 | 85 |
Mar-2019 | 26 | 37 | 111 |
Apr-2019 | 34 | 37 | & so on until 15th month |
May-2019 | 67 | 68 | |
Jun-2019 | 24 | 24 | |
Jul-2019 | 54 | 58 | |
Aug-2019 | 56 | 57 | |
Sep-2019 | 29 | 35 | |
Oct-2019 | 40 | 45 | |
Nov-2019 | 26 | 26 | |
Dec-2019 | 45 | 47 | |
Jan-2020 | 36 | 37 | |
Feb-2020 | 35 | 40 | |
Mar-2020 | 20 | 30 | 577 |
Apr-2020 | 16 | 26 | 567 |
May-2020 | 46 | 50 |
Is there any guidance to write a code for this?
Thank you so much.
If your data is complete ... meaning that all months are accounted for with nothing missing in the middle of the series ... the code is relatively easy:
data want;
set have;
back16 = lag16(num);
num_sum + num;
num_sum = sum(num_sum, -back16);
run;
