Good Afternoon everyone! So, I just finished summarizing a report and got everything tied together well, except displaying the date range. I have multiple records for same id's with different dates- all 1st day of the month-in the format 01/01/2014, 02/01/2014, 08/01/2017 and so on. I also have premiums etc which I need to sum for all records for the same id. What I need is to create another variable displaying the date range/span for the same id.

 

data have;


input id premium date mmddyy10. ;

format date mmddyy10. ;
cards;

1 10 01/01/2014
1 10 02/01/2014
1 10 04/01/2014
2 15 01/01/2015
2 15 02/01/2015
2 15 04/01/2015
;
run;

data want;
length date_range $35 ;
input id totalpremium date_range $ ;
cards;
1 30 01/01/2014-04/01/2014
2 45 01/01/2015-04/01/2015
;
run;

 

What I have tried so far-

Proc sql;


create table want as select id, sum(premium) as total premium, min(date)||max(date) as date_range from have group by id;


quit;

 

Thanks in advance!

You're close! Try:

proc sql;
  create table want as
    select id, sum(premium) as total_premium,
    catx('-',put(min(date),mmddyy10.),put(max(date),mmddyy10.)) as date_range
      from have
        group by id
  ;

Good evening everyone!

This is little modification of an earlier problem I posted on this thread. As you see in my 'Have' dataset, the months are not continuous sometimes. So, for example, if there is a missing month in consecutive records (jan2014, feb2014, april 2014), I need to break down the range bit differently, so rather than original 'want' data set, my new want data set will look like-

data want;
length date_range $35 ;
input id totalpremium date_range $ ;
cards;
1 20 01/01/2014-02/29/2014
1 10  04/01/2014 -04/30/2014
2 30 01/01/2015-02/28/2015
2 15 04/01/2015 -04/30/2015
;
run;

If there is no break per id, then the range will be from 1st day of 1st month to last day of lastmonth of that record.

 

Thanks in advance!

This should work but, unlike your example, there were only 28 days in Feb 2014:

 

data have;
  input id premium date mmddyy10. ;
  format date mmddyy10.;
  cards;
1 10 01/01/2014
1 10 02/01/2014
1 10 04/01/2014
2 15 01/01/2015
2 15 02/01/2015
2 15 04/01/2015
;

data need (drop=last_date);
  set have;
  by id;
  last_date=lag(date);
  if first.id then seq=1;
  else if intck('month',last_date,date,'D') gt 1 then seq+1;
run;

proc sql;
  create table want as
    select id, sum(premium) as total_premium,
    catx('-',put(min(date),mmddyy10.),
             put(intnx('month',max(date),0,'e'),mmddyy10.)) as date_range
      from need
        group by id,seq
  ;
quit;
