Hello SAS users, Thank you so much in advance for reading the question! Year 2, Year 3, Year 4, Year 5, year 6, Year 7 ... are New Variables that I want to calculation from the code. I have the following sample data and code. These are the data steps I needed: 1. From the first firm, Firm 1, randomly select a firm within the SAME group, Firm 2 For example, Firm A in year 2010, whose profit is 100. Randomly match it with firm B in year 1998, whose rate is 0.01. 2. Use Firm 2's Rate * Firm 1's Profit to obtain Firm 1's Year 2. Year 2 for Firm A in 2010 = 0.01* 100=1 3. Use Firm 1's Year 2, randomly select a firm within the SAME Group, Firm 3 For example, match with Firm C in year 2009, whose Rate is 0.1. 4. Use Firm 3's Rate * Firm 1's Year 2 to obtain Firm 1's Year 3. Firm A, Year 2010's Year 3 = 0.1*1=0.01 5. Repeat the process for Year 4,5,6,7... for Firm 1, to obtain all Year 4,5,6,7... for Firm 1. 6. Repeat the process for all Year 2,3,4,5,6,7... for all other firms to obtain Year 2,3,4,5,6,7... for all other firms. Questions: How do I get all Year 4,5,6,7... for Firm 1? How do I get Year 2,3,4,5,6,7... for all other firms? Firm Year Rate Group Profit Year 2 Year 3 Year 4 Year 5 Year 6 Year 7 A 2010 0.1 1 100 A 2001 0.15 2 97 B 1998 0.01 1 99 B 1995 0.2 3 7 B 1991 0.02 2 109 C 2010 0.3 2 104 C 2020 0.05 2 89 C 2009 0.1 3 3 I have the select code, but dont know how to repeat the process. proc surveyselect data=have sampsize=1 out=mySamples; strata group; run; Data multiply; set mySamples; Year 2=Profit * Rate; Run; Thank you so much in advance!
