Hi, I am new to SAS. Have searched a lot but I am unable to find the solution. My problem is that I want to generate a new variable based on the values of two other variables. An example is given below.
what I Have is
Company id Quarter Start End
1 1 130 133
1 2 190 194
1 3 230 231
what I want is
Company id Quarter Start End Days
1 1 130 133 130
1 1 131
1 1 132
1 1 133
1 2 190 194 190
1 2 191
1 2 192
1 2 193
1 2 194
1 3 230 231 230
1 3 231
Only Quarters, Days & company id is required/important. I have around 30,000+ quarters, with each quarter having a different start and end. Any simple way to do it? for every company, there are 81 quarters and there are 500 companies which all have a unique id.
Thanks a lot.
Like this?
data WANT;
set HAVE;
_LAST=END;

end;
