I'm trying to create a bar/line chart by month. I need the caluclation to be a rolling Standard Deviation (uses previous X months as data points instead of the whole data set at once). Does anyone know a way to calculate this?
Also, is there a way to calculate standard deviation off an aggregated measure (percent) instead of just a measure?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Are you data individual months or varying number of records per month?
The number of records vary by each month. The records are of complaints and each complaint has an entered date. In the chart, they are grouped by month.
Are the dates SAS date variables?
Yes, the column is Entered Date and they are using the format MMMYYYY. Is this what you were asking?
There are lots of people who have "date" variables that are character and when you try to group those it gets very messy. For charting purposes I'm going to assume that you're willing to accept a summary and not try to have the graphing program calculate it. Is that correct?
