Hi Guys,

 

How to compare data for all date to data from the same day of the previous year? Actually i'm facing an issue from last 3 months.

 

I got some solution from blogs.sas, there's Bobbie Wagoner lady, she given a solution "how to compare data for a selected date to data from the same day of the previous year". Please refer this link 

 

http://blogs.sas.com/content/sgf/2016/08/22/working-with-dates-in-sas-visual-analytics-comparing-to-...

 

But i want to compare data for all date not a single date comparison from the same day of the previous year (current - 364) for all date.

 

Regards,

Sunny Kumar Gupta

Sunny.

 

are you trying to compare last year's year to date revenue to this year's year to dae revenue for the same dates?

fro e.g  revenue till 11august2015  was 1040000  and revnue for this year's same date that is 11august2016 is  9800000.

Is this what you are trying to compare?

Hi Bro,

 

Not compare date from the pervious year date. That's called Previous date (Date - 365 days) comprasion

 

Actually my requirement to compare a single with previous year (Same Day).  That's called Previous Date (Date - 364 days) comprasion. An ex.: Date : 30-Aug-2016 then Previous Date : 29-Aug-2015 Comprasion.

 

Please refer this link for actuall requirement mine.
