Hi all, I have lat 4 year tuition fee laid out as Fee_YR_01-Fee_YR_04 and their corresponding increased rate Increase_YR_01-Increase_YR_04. I want 4 new rows which will calculate the tuition fee for the next 4 years based on their previous year tuitions and corresponding increase. But instead of calculating all 4 rows, I want the calculated output of the first row to be copied below all the way to the end. I was able to do the calculation on the first row, but don't know how to copy downward. Can anyone help please. Thank you   data have; input Fee_YR_01 Fee_YR_02 Fee_YR_03 Fee_YR_04 Increase_YR_01 Increase_YR_02 Increase_YR_03 Increase_YR_04; datalines; 1000 1050 1100 1150 0 20 20 20 1000 1070 1100 1150 0 20 20 20 3000 3100 3150 3200 0 15 15 15 3000 3200 3200 3300 0 15 15 15 ; RUN; DATA Want; SET Have; ARRAY Increase_Rate(*) Increase_YR_01 - Increase_YR_04; ARRAY Fee_New(*) Fee_New_AY_01 - Fee_New_AY_04; Fee_New_AY_01=Fee_YR_01; DO i=2 TO dim(Fee_New); IF _n_=1 THEN fee_new(i) = FLOOR(( fee_new(i-1) * (1+(Increase_Rate(i)/100)) )/10)*10; END; DROP i; RUN; Expected Output:   Fee_YR_01 Fee_YR_02 Fee_YR_03 Fee_YR_04 Increase_YR_01 Increase_YR_02 Increase_YR_03 Increase_YR_04 Fee_New_AY_01 Fee_New_AY_02 Fee_New_AY_03 Fee_New_AY_04 1000 1050 1100 1150 0 20 20 20 1000 1200 1440 1720 1000 1070 1100 1150 0 20 20 20 1000 1200 1440 1720 3000 3100 3150 3200 0 15 15 15 3000 1200 1440 1720 3000 3200 3200 3300 0 15 15 15 3000 1200 1440 1720   ...

Thank you Reeza. Your code worked for me. I just have slightly different requirements now and wondering if you can help.

Hello, I have tuition fees laid out for 4 years (Variables  Fee_YR_01-Fee_YR_04 ) starting current year ( Fee_YR_01 ). Variables  Increase_YR_01-Increase_YR_04  in the sample dataset shows the proposed tuition fee increase rate (in percent) based on the previous year. I want to calculate the future tuition based on this proposed tuition increase rate (in the new variables Fee_New_YR_02 - Fee_New_YR_04). I want a dynamic solution for this calculation.  Thank you all.   My data set looks like this:   data have; input Fee_YR_01 Fee_YR_02 Fee_YR_03 Fee_YR_04 Increase_YR_01 Increase_YR_02 Increase_YR_03 Increase_YR_04; datalines; 1000 1050 1100 1150 0 20 20 20 1000 1070 1100 1150 0 20 20 20 3000 3100 3150 3200 0 15 15 15 3000 3200 3200 3300 0 15 15 15 4000 4150 4200 4250 0 15 15 15 4000 4200 4300 4350 0 15 15 15 ; RUN;   This is the output I want:   Fee_New_YR_02 Fee_New_YR_03 Fee_New_YR_04 1200 1260 1320 1200 1284 1320 3450 3565 3622.5 3450 3680 3680 4600 4772.5 4830 4600 4830 4945   Calculations: Fee_New_YR_02=Fee_YR_01 * 1.2 (increased by 20%) I have shown you a small set of data. But I have 150 variables for tuition fees and 150 variables for the tuition rate increase.  So I need help on how to do it dynamically.  ... View more
