Convert a date interval into rows of individual dates - sas

In SAS, I have a column with a start_date in the past and a column with an end_date of today. I also have a price and an ID. ID is distinct.
I need to pivot the dates vertically to have unique date, price and ID.
START:
start end price ID
------------------------------------------
3/26/2017 3/28/2017 3.25 12345678
END:
ID price date
------------------------------
12345678 3.25 3/26/2017
12345678 3.25 3/27/2017
12345678 3.25 3/28/2017

Alright, as I interpret the question. (No offence meant.)
You have date interval and you wish to have row for each date between them while retaining ID and price.
First we generate a bit of data.
data Begin;
input start :DATE9. end :DATE9. price ID;
datalines;
'26MAR17'd '28MAR17'd 3.25 12345678
'1JAN17'd '4JAN17'd 5.6 876543221
;
run;
We always want to sort thins out.
proc sort data= begin; by start; run;
data wanted(keep=ID price date);
set begin;
by start; /*Each start date begins the following loop*/
do while (start <= end);
date=start; /*This is just that we get the right name out from output*/
output;
start= start+1;
end;
run;
Please make sure that end>begin or you'll hit endless loop. (Or add comparison to the code.)

Is there a way to know if, for each ID, each date is in the range? For example: the ID 0001 contains all dates except 01JAN2018 and 31DEC2018.
Moreover, for each year I need to count how many IDs start at 01/01 and end at 31/12 so they appear for the entire year. For example, ID 0002 will not be counted for 2018 because it ends before 31/12. Desired output:
ID 01JAN2015 31DEC2015 01JAN2016 31DEC2016 01JAN2017 31DEC2017 01JAN2018 31DEC2018
0001 yes yes yes yes yes yes no no
0002 no no yes yes yes yes yes no
Final table:
Year Count
2015 1
2016 2
2017 2
2018 0
To match the dates in the range I tried:
proc sql;
create table want as;
select dates as t1;
join have as t2;
t2.dates between t1.start and t1.end
order by 1,2;
quit;
Unfortunately I lose the ID correspondence.
Can anyone help me please?
Thank you in advance
The first output can be achieved using proc sql followed by proc transpose and then a data step.
(The variables are created in a different order than in your desired output - hopefully that is not a problem for you.)
The second can be done with a data step followed by proc summary.
NB - I changed the invalid date 31NOV2018 to 30NOV2018 before running my code.
Output 1
* First, join the HAVE and DATES data sets to check which dates fall within a range;
proc sql;
create table want1 as
select h.ID, d.dates format=date9., 'yes' as flag
from dates d left join have h on (d.dates between h.start and h.end)
order by ID, dates
;
run;
* transpose this to the wider format required. Cells where there is no match will be blank;
proc transpose data=want1 out=want1 (where=(ID ne '') drop=_name_);
by ID;
id dates;
var flag;
run;
* Now populate the blank cells with "no";
data want1;
set want1;
array datevars (*) _all_;
do i = 1 to dim(datevars);
if datevars(i) = '' then datevars(i)='no';
end;
drop i;
run;
Output 2
* This assumes the data are in order by ID, start and end - if not then sort the data before this step;
* First read throught the HAVE data set and set count = 1 for each year that is fully covered by each ID;
data want2;
set have;
by ID;
retain first last count; * FIRST and LAST are the earliest START and latest END respectively for each ID;
if first.ID then do;
first=start;
count=0;
end;
if last.ID then do;
last=end;
do yr=year(first) to year(last); * for each ID we want to cycle through all the years covered;
if first <= mdy(1,1,yr) and last >= mdy(12,31,yr) then count = 1; * sets count=1 if the year is fully contained within the range;
output;
count=0;
end;
end;
drop start end first last;
format first last date9.;
run;
* The step above produces a row for each combination of year * ID, we just want totals by year which is done by PROC SUMMARY;
proc summary data=want2 nway;
class yr;
var count;
output out=want2 (drop=_type_ _freq_) sum=;

All values for only most recent occurrence

I am trying to extract all the Time occurrences for only the recent visit. Can someone help me with the code please.
Here is my data:
Obs Name Date Time
1 Bob 2017090 1305
2 Bob 2017090 1015
3 Bob 2017081 0810
4 Bob 2017072 0602
5 Tom 2017090 1300
6 Tom 2017090 1010
7 Tom 2017090 0805
8 Tom 2017072 0607
9 Joe 2017085 1309
10 Joe 2017081 0815
I need the output as:
Obs Name Date Time
1 Bob 2017090 1305,1015
2 Tom 2017090 1300,1010,0805
3 Joe 2017085 1309
Right now my code is designed to give me only one recent entry:
DATA OUT2;
SET INP1;
BY DATE;
IF FIRST.DATE THEN OUTPUT OUT2;
RETURN;
I would first sort the data by name and date. Then I would transpose and process the results.
proc sort data=have;
by name date;
run;
proc transpose data=have out=temp1;
by name date;
var value;
run;
data want;
set temp1;
by name date;
if last.name;
format value $2000.;
value = catx(',',of col:);
drop col: _name_;
run;
You may want to further process the new VALUE to remove excess commas (,) and missing value .'s.
Very similar to the question yesterday from another user, you can use quite a few solutions here.
SQL again is the easiest; this is not valid ANSI SQL and pretty much only SAS supports this, but it does work in SAS:
proc sql;
select name, date, time
from have
group by name
having date=max(date);
quit;
Even though date and time are not on the group by it's legal in SAS to put them on the select, and then SAS automatically merges (inner joins) the result of select name, max(date) from have group by name having date=max(date) to the original have dataset, returning multiple rows as needed. Then you'd want to collapse the rows, which I leave as an exercise for the reader.
You could also simply generate a table of maximum dates using any method you choose and then merge yourself. This is probably the easiest in practice to use, in particular including troubleshooting.
The DoW loop also appeals here. This is basically the precise SAS data step implementation of the SQL above. First iterate over that name, figure out the max, then iterate again and output the ones with that max.
proc sort data=have;
by name date;
run;
data want;
do _n_ = 1 by 1 until (last.name);
set have;
by name;
max_Date = max(max_date,date);
end;
do _n_ = 1 by 1 until (last.name);
set have;
by name;
if date=max_date then output;
end;
run;
Of course here you more easily collapse the rows, too:
data want;
length timelist $1024;
do _n_ = 1 by 1 until (last.name);
set have;
by name;
max_Date = max(max_date,date);
end;
do _n_ = 1 by 1 until (last.name);
set have;
by name;
if date=max_date then timelist=catx(',',timelist,time);
if last.name then output;
end;
run;
If the data is sorted then just retain the first date so you know which records to combine and output.
proc sort data=have ;
by name descending date time;
run;
data want ;
set have ;
by name descending date ;
length timex $200 ;
retain start timex;
if first.name then do;
start=date;
timex=' ';
end;
if date=start then do;
timex=catx(',',timex,time);
if last.date then do;
output;
call missing(start,timex);
end;
end;
drop start time ;
rename timex=time ;
run;

how to count distinct value over two dimension using SAS

I have a dataset looks like the following. This dataset contains four variable Country name Country, company ID Company, Year and Date.
Country Company Year Date
------- ------- ---- ----
A 1 2000 2000/01/02
A 1 2001 2001/01/03
A 1 2001 2001/07/02
A 1 2000 2001/08/03
B 2 2000 2001/08/03
C 3 2000 2001/08/03
I know how to count number of distinct company in each country. I did it using the following code.
proc sql;
create table lib.count as
select country, count(distinct company) as count
from lib.data
group by country;
quit;
My problem is how to count the number of distinct company-Years in each country. Essentially i want to know how many different company or same company in different year. If there are two observation for the same company in the same year, I want to count it as 1 different value. If same company have two observation in differeny year I want to count it as two different value. I want the output looks like the following (one number per country):
Country No. firm_year
A 2
B 1
C 1
Can anyone can teach me how to do it please.
A quick method is to concatenate all the variables you want to compare, creating a new variable. Something like:
data data_mod;
set data;
length company_year $ 20;
company_year= cats(company,year);
run;
Then you can run your proc sql with count(distinct company_year).
You need nested queries, as #DaBigNikoladze hinted at...
An "internal" query which will generate a list of distinct combinations of Country + Company + Year;
An "external" query which will count how many rows per country are present in the internal query.
Generate dataset
data have;
informat Country $1.
Company 1.
Year 4.
Date YYMMDD10.;
format Date YYMMDDs10.;
input country company year date;
datalines;
A 1 2000 2000/01/02
A 1 2001 2001/01/03
A 1 2001 2001/07/02
A 1 2000 2001/08/03
B 2 2000 2001/08/03
C 3 2000 2001/08/03
;
Execute query
PROC SQL;
CREATE TABLE want AS
SELECT country, Count(company) AS Firm_year
FROM (SELECT DISTINCT country, company, year FROM have)
GROUP BY country;
QUIT;
Results
Country Firm_year
A 2
B 1
C 1
proc sort data=lib.data out=temp nodupkey;
by country company year;
run;
data firm_year(keep=country cnt_fyr);
set out;
by country company year
retain cnt_fyr;
if first.country then cnt_fyr=1;
else cnt_fyr+1;
if last.country;
run;
The answer for your first question is:
data lib.count(keep=country companyCount);
set lib.data;
by country;
retain companyList '';
retain companyCount 0;
if first.country then do;
companyList = company;
companyCount = 1;
end;
else do;
if ^index(companyList, company) then do;
companyList = cats(companyList,',',company);
companyCount + 1;
end;
end;
if last.country then output;
run;
The resutl is:
Country companyCount
------- ------------
A 2
B 1
C 1
Similary you will take the number of distinct company-Years in each country.
Guess i'm a bit confused as to what you are expecting the result to look like. Here is an sql method that gets the same result as posted by the other answer so far.
data temp;
attrib Country length = $10;
attrib Company length = $10;
attrib Year length = $10;
attrib Date length = $10;
input Country $ Company $ Year $ Date $;
infile datalines delimiter = '#';
datalines;
A#1#x#x1#
A#1#x#x2#
B#2#x#x1#
C#3#x#x3#
;
run;
proc sql;
create table temp2 as
select country, count(distinct Date) as count
from temp
group by country, company;
quit;

SAS - Comparing observations within a group to pick values

I have 4 columns in my SAS dataset as shown in first image below. I need to compare the dates of consecutive rows by ID. For each ID, if Date2 occurs before the next row's Date1 for the same ID, then keep the Bill amount. If Date2 occurs after the Date1 of the next row, delete the bill amount. So for each ID, only keep the bill where the Date2 is less than the next rows Date1. I have placed what the result set should look like at the bottom.
Result set should look like
You'll want to create a new variable that moves the next row's DATE1 up one row to make the comparison. Assuming your date variables are in a date format, use PROC EXPAND and make the comparison ensuring that you're not comparing the last value which will have a missing LEAD value:
DATA TEST;
INPUT ID: $3. DATE1: MMDDYY10. DATE2: MMDDYY10. BILL: 8.;
FORMAT DATE1 DATE2 MMDDYY10.;
DATALINES;
AA 07/23/2015 07/31/2015 34
AA 07/30/2015 08/10/2015 50
AA 08/12/2015 08/15/2015 18
BB 07/23/2015 07/24/2015 20
BB 07/30/2015 08/08/2015 20
BB 08/06/2015 08/08/2015 20
;
RUN;
PROC EXPAND DATA = TEST OUT=TEST1 METHOD=NONE;
BY ID;
CONVERT DATE1 = DATE1_LEAD / TRANSFORMOUT=(LEAD 1);
RUN;
DATA TEST2; SET TEST1;
IF DATE1_LEAD NE . AND DATE2 GT DATE1_LEAD THEN BILL=.;
RUN;
If you sort your data so that you are looking to the previous obs to compare your dates, you can use a the LAG Function in a DATA STEP.

How can I assign values to dataset based on time and overlapping numerical ranges? - SAS

I have a credit card transaction dataset (let's call it "Trans") with transaction amount, zip code, and date. I have another dataset (let's call it "Key") that lists sales tax rates based on date and geocode. The Key dataset also includes a range of zip codes associated with each geocode represented by 2 variables: Zip Start and Zip End.
Because Geocodes don't align with zip codes, some of the zip code ranges overlap. If this happens, I want to use the lowest sales tax rate associated with the zip code shown in Trans.
Trans dataset:
TransAmount TransDate TransZip
$200 01/07/1998 90010
$12 02/09/2002 90022
Key dataset:
Geocode Rate StartDate EndDate ZipStart ZipEnd
1001 .0825 199701 200012 90001 90084
1001 .085 200101 200812 90001 90084
1002 .0825 199701 200012 90022 90024
1002 .08 200101 200812 90022 90024
Desired output:
TransAmount TransDate TransZip Rate
$200 01/07/1998 90010 .0825
$12 02/09/2002 90022 .08
I used this basic SQL code in SAS, but I run into the problem of overlapping zip codes.
proc sql;
create table output as
select a.*, b.zipstart, b.zipend, b.startdate, b.enddate, b.rate
from Trans.CA_Zip_Cd_Testing a left join Key.CA_rates b
on a.TranZip ge b.zipstart
and a.TranZip le b.zipend
and a.TransDate ge b.StartDate
and a.transDate le b.EndDate
;
quit;
Well the easiest way to do this as far as the query portion is to just add a subquery to get the min rate.
Select t.transamount, t.transdate,t.transzip
,(Select MIN(rate) from Key where t.transzip between ZipStart and ZipEnd and t.transdate between startdate and enddate) 'Rate'
from trans t
You could also do it as subquery and join on it.
The SAS SQL Optimizer can be good sometimes. Other times, it can be a challenge. This code is going to be a bit more complicated, but it will likely be faster, and subject to size constraints on your key table.
data key;
set key;
dummy_key=1;
run;
data want(drop=dummy_key geocode rate startDate endDate zipStart zipEnd rc i);
if _n_ = 1 then do;
if 0 then set key;
declare hash k (dataset:'key',multidata:'y');
k.defineKey('dummy_key');
k.defineData('geocode','rate','startdate','enddate','zipstart','zipend');
k.defineDone();
end;
call missing (of _all_);
set trans;
dummy_key=1;
rc = k.find();
do i=1 to 1000 while (rc=0);
transZipNum = input(transZip,8.); *converts character zip to number. if its already a number then remove;
zipStartNum = input(zipStart,8.);
zipEndNum = input(zipEnd,8.);
if startDate <= transDate <= endDate then do;
if zipStartNum <= transZipNum <= zipEndNum then do;
rate_out = min(rate_out,rate);
end;
end;
rc=k.find_next();
end;
run;
