Hello SAS communities! 

 

I have following data set. 

id start  end
1 1/15/2021 1/21/2021 1/02/2021
2 1/22/2021 1/28/2021 1/09/2021

And I would like to output following data set.

id start  end
1 1/01/2021 1/07/2021 1/02/2021
1 1/08/2021 1/14/2021 1/02/2021
1 1/15/2021 1/21/2021 1/02/2021
2 1/08/2021 1/14/2021 1/09/2021
2 1/15/2021 1/21/2021 1/09/2021
2 1/22/2021 1/28/2021 1/09/2021

 

The rule is.... if X is not in between start and end, create rows until X is in between start and end. For example, from the above table, rows in bold are added.

 

Any type of advice is greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Looks like you want to move the dates by one week at a time. So calculate the number of weeks and run a DO loop.

data have;
  input id (start  end x) (:mmddyy.);
  format start end x yymmdd10.;
cards;
1 1/15/2021 1/21/2021 1/02/2021
2 1/22/2021 1/28/2021 1/09/2021
;

data want ;
  set have ;
  diff = intck('week',start,x);
  do offset=min(0,diff) to max(0,diff) ;
    new_start = intnx('week',start,offset,'s');
    new_end   = intnx('week',end,offset,'s');
    output;
  end;
  format new_start new_end yymmdd10.;
  rename start=original_start end=original_end
         new_start=start new_end=end
  ;
run;

proc print;
run;
              original_     original_
Obs    id         start           end             x    diff    offset         start           end

You supplied the rule when to add observation. But what are the rules to define START and END for each added line, while X seems to be retained and copied to those added lnes.
