You use a data step on the  output data from your proc summary.

 

data want;

   set outdata;

   <calculations go here>

  1. Post complete working non-macro code of the step you want to repeat. Your code as posted is syntactically invalid.
  2. Post a second example for the second iteration, so we can see what needs to change.
  3. Tell us over which range the iterations need to run.
  4. Use the "little running man" icon to post the code examples.

Please help us all out and don't post code that doesn't have semi-colons and doesn't have % signs on the macro commands and has other obvious syntax errors. Please use the "running man" icon and post your code in the window that appears.

 

Also, @ballardw has already explained that you need to do the multiplication in a data step after your PROC SUMMARY, and he has given example code. Give that a try.
