I have the following table that cumulate value along the day by id and when the treshold (-150) is exceeded i need a flag and keep it until last.id

340400
3-125-850
3-90-1751
335-1401
335-1051
335-701

 

I've tried a lot of lag and retains structures but it doesn't work.

A straightforward approach could work as follows:

 

data want;
   set have;
   by id;
   retain flag;
   if first.id then flag=0;
   if cumulative_value < -150 then flag=1;
run;

 This assumes you know how to get the cumulative value (or perhaps it is already in your data.)  If you need to compute it along the way, here's a modification that would do that:

data want;
   set have;
   retain flag;
   if first.id then do;
      flag=0;
      cumulative_value=0;
   end;
   cumulative_value + value;
   if cumulative_value < -150 then flag=1;
run;

Worked perfectly!! Just made a change and included "by id":

data want;
   set have;
   by id;
   retain flag;
   if first.id then do;
      flag=0;
      cumulative_value=0;
   end;
   cumulative_value + value;
   if cumulative_value < -150 then flag=1;
run;

thanks
