Hi,

I have data where todays closing becomes next days opening after calculations in Base SAS Code I have written and I have data from Jan2016 to Jul2016 so what is happening here is when I run one time data for 1st jan matches when I run second time data for 2nd jan matches and so on but how to cut down this repeting process short so that I can get all the matching values in one go.

 

Thnaks,

We're all guessing, but this might be what you want:  compute today's opening.

 

If so, the opening for the first day can't be computed.  But here's one approach to get as much as possible from the data:

 

proc sort data=have;

by company date;

run;

 

data want;

set have;

by company;

opening = lag(closing);

if first.company then opening=.;

run;
