Hello dear experts,
I am facing a challenge today: need to find a sum of payments for groups of subjets ('Name' in the table below) that fall within assets ranges:
| name | assets | payment |
| A | 100,400 | 456 |
| B | 300,500 | 1344 |
| C | 100,800 | 357 |
| D | 1,800,000 | 7348 |
| E | 300,003 | 467 |
| F | 340,000 | 966 |
| G | 15,000,900 | 34533 |
| H | 785,004,000 | 7238 |
The ranges start from 100,000 and increment every 100,000 until 10,000,000. Whatever is greater than 10,000,000 is grouped together. So, there are 100 assets ranges:
100,001-200,000
200,001-300,000
...
1,900,001-2,000,000
2,000,001-2,100,000
...
10,000,000 and over
For example, payment for A and C will be summarized together. Same goes with B, E, and F. Also G and H.
I know it should be a loop with an incremental value to calculate sum of payments for each asset range but I can't figure it out. Need your help please!
Thanks

I'm not sure what that means, but a SAS way of doing this easily is:
1. Create a format that contains your intervals.
2. Apply the format using a PUT statement to identify your groups.
3. Then sum using PROC MEANS.
Example for #1
Thank you Reeza
