Hi, 

 

I have dataseries containing annual percentage growth, and from this I would like to create a new column showing corresponding price development (assuming a price of 100 in year 0). An example can be seen below. 

 

YearAnnual returnStock price development
17,00%107,0
26,00%113,4
32,00%115,7
41,00%116,8
52,00%119,2
64,00%123,9
75,00%130,1

 

I have used the following code, but I am not able to successfully do the calculation. 

 

data want;
set have;
if first.return then Price=100;
Price*(1+return);
run;

 

Can someone please help me?
