Hi all,
My requirement is to use a filter code to select only current month's data from given table and condition I need to select is where report _date >= first_day_of_month and report_date <= last_day_of_month
My data looks like this
Account_id Report_date
1 12JUN2013
2 17JAN2014
3 19MAY2014
The code that I need to modify (I wrote this )
%let month_key=201405;
Proc Sql;
Create table work.want as
Select * from Work.have
Where report _date >= intnx ('month', &month_key,0) and report_date<=intnx('month',&month_key,0)-1;
Quit;
The value of month_key will be passed like this only. Don't know where I am going wrong but it's producing wrong output.
Need your help on this.
Thanks in advance.
tested:
Proc Sql;
Create table work.want as
Select * from Work.have
Where report_date between intnx('month',%sysfunc(inputn(&month_key,yymmn6.)),0,'b') and intnx('month',%sysfunc(inputn(&month_key,yymmn6.)),0,'e');
Quit;
or
Proc Sql;
Create table work.want2 as
Select * from Work.have
Where report_date between intnx('month',input("&month_key",yymmn6.),0,'b') and intnx('month',input("&month_key",yymmn6.),0,'e');
Quit;
data have;
input Account_id Report_date : date9.;
format report_date date9.;
cards;
1 12JUN2013
2 17JAN2014
3 19MAY2014
;
%let month_key=201405;
Proc Sql;
Create table work.want as
Select * from Work.have
Where year(report_date)=%substr(&month_key,1,4) and month(report_date)=%substr(&month_key,5);
Quit;
Hi,
INTNX wants a SAS Date, and 201405 is not a SAS date (at least it's not the SAS date you want).
You can use INPUT() to convert 201405 to a SAS date, something like: (untested)
%put %sysfunc(inputn(201405,yymmn6.),mmddyy10.); %put %sysfunc(intnx (month,%sysfunc(inputn(201405,yymmn6.)) ,0,B),mmddyy10.); %put %sysfunc(intnx (month,%sysfunc(inputn(201405,yymmn6.)) ,0,E),mmddyy10.); Where report _date ge %sysfunc(intnx (month,%sysfunc(inputn(201405,yymmn6.)) ,0,B)) and report_date le %sysfunc(intnx (month,%sysfunc(inputn(201405,yymmn6.)) ,0,E)) ;
Actually you probably dont need the %sysfunc, and could instead just replace &month_key in your approach with inputn(&monthkey,yymmn6.) . But sometimes the macro language cam makes it easier to test/debug (not sure I've ever said *that* before...
HTH,
