Hello SAS users,

 

I want to create a dataset that shows three years before and two years after a certain year for each of the observations in my sample. Also there are some overlapped years in newly created column, and I need to keep all overlap years presented separately.

 

Data have:

 

Company Year
A2000
A2001
B1998

 

Data want:

Company YearNew 
A 1997
A 1998
A 1999
A20002000
A 2001
A 2002
A 1998
A 1999
A 2000
A20012001
A 2002
A 2003
B 1995
B 1996
B 1997
B19981998
B 1999
B 2000


Thank you so much in advance!
