 I want to know how many clients in each clinic stayed at a different clinic and the cost of the stay at the different clinic.  I am not considering order of the stays. I do not want to count a client if they have a different stay in the same clinic (see client L).

Thank you for your help!

Thank you for providing working code to create dataset HAVE.

 

You "want to know how many clients in each clinic stayed at a different clinic and the cost of the stay at the different clinic."

 

Your desired result for clinic 3 shows a COUNT of 1 and a COST of 9,588.

 

Now the only client for clinic 3 that has stays at other clinics client L, which explains why you have a COUNT of 1.  But, with the following data for L

Client Span_Begin Span_End Clinic Stay Cost
L

07/01/2022

07/15/2022 1 3 9,588
L 07/26/2022 08/17/2022 12 1 2,060
L 09/23/2022 02/19/2023 12 1 5,149

 

why does your sample desired result have COST of 9,588?  Shouldn't it be 7,209 (2,060 + 5,149 for two visits to clinic 12)?

--------------------------
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

Yes, you are correct! I apologize. These should be the results:

Clinic  Count Other Clinic Sum of Cost
3 1 12 7209
4 1 5 10501
5 1 4 13697
8 1 12 5149
10 1 11 5935
11 1 10 9588
12 2 3,8 11991

Thank you Ksharp, this gave me exactly what I needed!  Now I am trying to make a table that counts stays in a different clinic that considers the chronological order of the stays. I also want to add a readmissions column where readmissions= the count of movements/placements into a different clinic.  I was able to modify your code to give me the correct client count for this but my readmissions and cost are being double counted for clients who have 2 back-to-back stays in the same clinic, followed by a stay in a different clinic. For example, client EE's readmission into clinic 4 is being counted twice where I only want it to be counted once as they only moved into a different clinic one time (from clinic 5 to clinic 4).  Is there a way to fix this so it doesn't duplicate these readmissions and cost?

Just add DISTINCT keyword before SQL,and use this dataset to calculate  these readmissions and cost.

create table temp2 as
select distinct a.Clinic,a.Client,b.Clinic as _Clinic,b.Cost as Cost
 from temp as a,have as b
  where a.Client=b.Client and a.Clinic ne _Clinic and a.Span_Begin lt b.Span_Begin  ;
