Hello, I'm sure this is fairly straight forward but I just can't get my head around how. I've got a table with a base value for the first record in a category. All other rows within this category have an adjustment rate. I want to work out the new value based upon this adjustment rate. But it's sequential, so row 1 value * row 2 rate = row 2 value, row 2 value * row 3 rate = row 3 value etc. It's not the easiest thing to articulate, so here's an example. Starting table Class Month Adjustment_Rate Base_Value Category 1 Jan-18 10.00 Category 1 Feb-18 0.96 Category 1 Mar-18 0.99 Category 1 Apr-18 1.02 Category 1 May-18 1.05 Category 2 Jan-18 15.00 Category 2 Feb-18 0.94 Category 2 Mar-18 1.00 Category 2 Apr-18 1.03 Category 2 May-18 1.03 This is what I want in the end (I'd subsequently drop Base_Value) Class Month Adjustment_Rate Base_Value New_Value Category 1 Jan-18 10.00 10.00 Category 1 Feb-18 0.96 9.60 Category 1 Mar-18 0.99 9.50 Category 1 Apr-18 1.02 9.69 Category 1 May-18 1.05 10.18 Category 2 Jan-18 15.00 15.00 Category 2 Feb-18 0.94 14.10 Category 2 Mar-18 1.00 14.10 Category 2 Apr-18 1.03 14.52 Category 2 May-18 1.03 14.96 I'm assuming I need to use a lag function, e.g. lag Base_Value, but on observation 2 I need to lag the new value. Thanks in advance! Edit: Fixing typos.
