I have two tables A and B.
Table A has Id, Item_Name, price_start_date, new_price_end_date
Table B has Covers, Date.
I want to create a code to add all the covers in Table A which lie in between Price_start_date and new_price_end_date (that is sum of covers between the dates in Table B).
I wrote a code to
Proc SQL;
create table work.covers_before_total as
Select a.*, Sum(Case When a.Price_start_Date <= a.NEW_Price_End_Date and a.Price_start_Date <= b.date and a.NEW_Price_End_Date >= b.date then b.Covers Else 0 END) as covers
from work.covers_before a,work.covers_measurement_model b
group by a.id
Run;
But the sum gives out 0 for some reason.
Is there also a better way of doing it?
Your code (once modified to meet what proc sql expects) appears to work correctly. I ran:
Proc SQL;
create table work.covers_before_total as
Select a.*, Sum(Case When a.Price_start_Date <= a.NEW_Price_End_Date and
a.Price_start_Date <= b.date and
a.NEW_Price_End_Date >= b.date then b.Covers Else 0 END) as covers
from work.covers_before a,work.covers_measurement_model b
group by a.id
;
quit;
Can't help further unless/until you provide some example data for the two datasets, and the result you expect.
