Proc expand: How to skip the most recent obs.

Posted 07-23-2016 07:05 AM (361 views)

proc expand data=XXX out=XXX method=none;
by AAA;
convert high = high1 / transformin=(movmax 12 trimleft 10);
run;

I want to get the Maxmium obs from the most recent 12 obs in the moving windows. But I want to skip the most recent 1 observation. In fact I use 1-11st obs, while skipping 12st obs. How to code it?

Better late than never?

convert high=high1 / transformin=(lag 1) transformout=(movmax 12 trimleft 10);

This makes the current value of high tied with the preceding, so max over 12 obs, is the same as max over preceding 11 obs.

The hash OUTPUT method will overwrite a SAS data set, but not append. That can be costly. Consider voting for Add a HASH object method which would append a hash object to an existing SAS data set

Would enabling PROC SORT to simultaneously output multiple datasets be useful? Then vote for
Allow PROC SORT to output multiple datasets
