Solved: Re: SAS Tricky Query

BaalaRaaji · Posted 04-18-2019 01:53 AM

Hi Team,

I am stuck in the SAS QUery to filter the data.

The below example is for one account but my orginal data got 1million accounts.

Base data is the account level from 31jan2010 to 30APR2019

Sample data for one account.

2CD3B	101	30Apr2019

The logic I wanted to write is

First Step:

Delete the rows below oldest act_code and

Delete the rows above newest act_code

Need to see like below data...

COLL_IDNN_HK	MAT_CLREF	END_OF_MONTH	ACT_CODE

2CD3B	101	30Nov2018	fin

Secong Step:

Populate the missing within the value from previous month for the action code.

Final dataset should be like this...

COLL_IDNN_HK	MAT_CLREF	END_OF_MONTH	ACT_CODE
2CD3B	101	31Mar2017	psale

See https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Communities-Library/How-to-create-a-data-step-version-of-your-dat...

and repost with a self-contained "have" and "want" data steps. Format your code using the "Insert SAS Code" icon.

Step 1: Use a surrogate key (incrementing number), pre-process your data getting the min and max SK with non-missing act_code grouped by COLL_IDNN_HK, then delete rows not between min and max sk.

Step 2: See https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Programming/LOCF/m-p/395676/highlight/true#M95474 for LOCF examples.

I could have provided code instead of a word description if you'd bothered with the first step.

Please post your question as a self-contained data step in the form of "have" (source) and "want" (desired results).
I won't contribute to your post if I can't cut-and-paste your syntactically correct code into SAS.

The second step can be solve by retaining an additional variable that is set to act_code and will populate act_code if it is missing. To provide something useful for the first step, i need data in usable form: a data step with datalines-statement. Maybe a retained variable can help here, too.

Hi novinosrin,

Super User...Thank you so much for the code. Much Appreciated..

Brilliant thinking in replicated the code..Awesome.

You are a SAS Expert.thanks again

Cheers!

BaalaRaaji · Posted 04-28-2019 09:55 PM

The code is working properly but when I have added new variable(act_alloc_date)..its not working..?

I have added this feild because in a month I have 4 different act_code and need the last one to order..

would you be able to advise? appreciate your help.thanks

BaalaRaaji · Posted 04-28-2019 10:02 PM

Below code ...some how not working if I add act_alloc(date)

/* Base data */

proc sql;

create table test as select a.coll_idnn_hk,a.MAT_CLREF ,a.END_OF_MONTH,b.ACT_CODE,b.act_alloc

from HK_MONTH_DAT as a

left join com_HK as b on

a.coll_idnn_hk=b.coll_idnn_hk and a.END_OF_MONTH= b.END_OF_MONTH

where MAT_CLREF ne ' '

order by a.COLL_IDNN_HK,a.MAT_CLREF,b.act_alloc;

quit;

/**/

/*proc sort data=test out= x1;by coll_idnn_hk MAT_CLREF act_alloc ;run; */

proc sql;

create table temp(drop=t) as

select COLL_IDNN_HK,MAT_CLREF,ACT_CODE>' ' as t,min(END_OF_MONTH) as _min format=date9., max(END_OF_MONTH) as _max format=date9.

from test

group by COLL_IDNN_HK,MAT_CLREF,t

having t;

quit;

data want;

merge test temp;

by COLL_IDNN_HK MAT_CLREF ;

/*if (act_code>' ' and END_OF_MONTH=_min) or (act_code>' ' and END_OF_MONTH=_max) or*/

/*_min<END_OF_MONTH<_max;*/

retain _mm;

length _mm $10;

if first.MAT_CLREF then call missing(_mm);

if not missing(act_code) then _mm=act_code;

else act_code=_mm;

drop _:;

run;

proc sort data=want1 out= c1; by coll_idnn_hk end_of_month act_alloc act_code ;run;

Hi @BaalaRaaji Can you hang in there for a night as it is 9:20pm chicago time. Let me test in the morning and message you back.

BaalaRaaji · Posted 04-28-2019 10:29 PM

Hey, Sorry to bother and distribut you..Am from Australia and was working to finialise this code..

please don't worry as the code is working perfectly..

Thanks and Reagrds,

RS

novinosrin · Posted 04-28-2019 10:34 PM

Always happy to help and feel free. Just that I do not have access to SAS software at home and so the reason in not being able to help anybody. So in future, weekends at nights are a diffiicult as my typical routine is friends, restaurants and other chores, otherwise SAS is always fun.

PS

Nonetheless i'm always online here on SAS communities on my mobile phone

BaalaRaaji · Posted 04-29-2019 02:27 AM

Appreciate your help. Definitely will point you directly if I stuck with the logics.

thank you

BaalaRaaji · Posted 04-28-2019 10:19 PM

sorry, Ignore it..i have fixed it..

your code is still working..thanks a lot..Appreciate it..

Assuming data set is sorted by Coll_IDNN_HK MAT_CLREF END_OF_MONTH , then

you can achieve what you want by few steps:

data temp1;
  set have;
       retain flag 0;
       if flag=0 and missing(act_code) then delete;
       else flag=1;
run;

proc sort data=temp1;
  by Coll_IDNN_HK  MAT_CLREF descending END_OF_MONTH;
run;

data temp2;
 set temp1;
       retain flag 0;
       if flag=0 and missing(act_code) then delete;
       else flag=1;
run;

proc sort data=temp2;
  by Coll_IDNN_HK  MAT_CLREF END_OF_MONTH;
run;

data want;
 set temp2;
       retain prev_code;
       if not missing(act_code)
       then prev_code = act_code;
       else act_code = prev_code;
run;

BaalaRaaji · Posted 04-22-2019 09:28 PM

Thanks Shmuel..Much Appreciated...

ScottBass · Posted 04-29-2019 04:43 AM

Here is the approach I was suggesting. I get a slightly different result than @novinosrin (obs 35, soldp).

Assuming my business logic is correct, I find my code a bit easier to follow (but of course everyone would think their own code is easier to follow - that's just natural). The big question is which code is creating the correct result?

data have;
infile cards truncover;
input COLL_IDNN_HK $ MAT_CLREF END_OF_MONTH :date9. ACT_CODE $;
format END_OF_MONTH :date9.;
cards;
