Hello dear community,

 

I need help aggregating tables using a SAS macro language. 

 

So assuming I have the following  monthly tables 'table_201001, table_201002, table_201003, ..., table_201312' with a variable named 'date_month ' (201001, 201002, 201003, ..., 201312). I would like to create a macro that I can allow me to assess the performance over a period of time. 

 

For example to check the perfo from 201001 to 201003 (numeric values) i create the following macro:

 

%let starting_date=201001;

%let ending_date=201003;

 

proc sql;

create table as table_report as 

select t1,*,t2.date_month

from t1 left join t2 on (t1.x=t2.y)

where t2.date_month between &starting_date. and &ending_date.;

quit;

 

I am trying to create a macro that can generate a perfo using a starting date and include increments like +15 to obtain a ending date. 

 

I tried using intnx('month','20nov2002'd,1,"sameday"); but my values for date_month are numeric. Any suggestions?

Your question is confusing.

 

1. What are tables T1 and T2?   Is T1   table_&starting_date

 

2. Only T2 contains the date variable?

 

3. What does the SQL look life for 3 tables? Can you use a data step merge?

 

4. ...include increments like +15...

No idea what this means
