Question

I have a dataset as follows and I need to retrieve two things: 1) the sum of VALUE between (date-1) and (date-3) for each date and 2) whether, during the 5 days, there are >= two days where the VALUE is 0. I think PROC SQL should be used but I’m not sure how to implement this.
INPUT DATASET:

ID   DATE      VALUE
1   20110101     0
1   20110102     0
1   20110103     1
1   20110104     2
2   20110101     1
2   20110102     2
2   20110103     3
2   20110104     4 

Output should be 1) 1 (0+0+1) for ID1, 20110104 and 6 (1+2+3) for ID2, 20110104. and 2) a mark for ID1, 20110104, since there are 2 days with a value of 0 during the 3-day window.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Answer 1

Both problems can be solved with a similar SQL query. Your second question is a bit confusing, because you once mention a 5 day periode and once a 3 day window. I used the same 3 day window for both queries, so modify the start and end date if you need another window.

1)

proc sql;
 select t1.id, t1.date, sum(t2.value) as totalvalue
 from _input t1
 left join _input t2
 on t1.date-4 lt t2.date
 and t1.date gt t2.date
 and t1.id = t2.id
 group by t1.id, t1.date;
quit;

2)

proc sql;
 select t1.id, t1.date
 from _input t1
 left join _input t2
 on t1.date-4 lt t2.date
 and t1.date gt t2.date
 and t1.id = t2.id
 and t2.value = 0
 group by t1.id, t1.date
 having count(*) ge 2
;
quit;
