That looks to be a viable solution. The logic flows through nicely. Thanks very much. I'll test that out when I'm back at work. Very much appreciated. ... View more

Currently the existing analysis is only looking at the sales of the lead product. I am of the view that this is underestimating the value of selling this product and that the additional items purchased by these customers adds further value to selling it. Anecdotally I'm being told that customers who buy this product are going on to buy accessories and other items. Sometimes at the same time, sometimes coming back days later. The primary analysis is to first see if this is the case - to move it from anecdote to evidence. I'm simply after a table that shows me all sales for the customers who purchase this one item. No further analysis is needed at this stage as if the additional sales are minimal then we won't do further work on it. ... View more

Sales date is in there but not needed for this part as I will use that to determine new or existing customer i.e. sales before lead item purchase equals existing customer, no sales before lead item purchase new customer. ... View more

I won't be back at work for a week but have mocked this up in excel at home. This would be the input. The output would be the bolded lines. Obviously there would be other columns with sales person etc but this is the essential data to get from A to B. We can identify the customers we want by the yes. The second step is the one I don't know how to get - all sales for the customer numbers that have a yes in the lead product column.  I tried using an if then statement to get the customer numbers eg if lead product in "yes" then return customer number but couldn't get this to accept even when I changed the customer number to a category instead off a number. I'm starting to learn some coding but am definitely not yet competent and only have access to SAS VIYA report building functions i.e. not able to change data tables themselves. Need to either include only the bolded sales or exclude the unbolded ones.

Have worked a partial solution by creating a list of all the customer names filtered by yes column and used that list to click on individual customers which looks at, in a table showing all sales, to see what else they purchased. If I could restrict the second table to only customers in the first list this would allow me to use totals, etc in a useful way. (I'm away for a week now so no hurry for any thoughts). ... View more
