Summing a Column By Group In a Dataset With Macros

Question

I have a dataset that looks like:

 Month   Cost_Center      Account    Actual    Annual_Budget
 June     53410           Postage       13      234
 June     5342         


        

Answer 1

1. Use PROC MEANS to summarize the data

2. Use a data step and IF/THEN statement to create your flags.

   proc means data=have N SUM NWAY STACKODS;
      class account;
      var amount annual_budget;
      ods output summary = summary_stats1;
      output out = summary_stats2 N = SUM= / AUTONAME;
   run;
   
   data want;
     set summary_stats;
     if sum_actual > sum_annual_budget then flag=1; 
     else flag=0;
   run;
