Geo-targeting Project [9-25]

---

We will now join the SALES_Q1 table with the LOCATIONS table.

proc sql;
create table sales_q1_loc as
select a.*, b.os_x as store_x, b.os_y as store_y
from sales_q1 a, locations b
where a.store_postcode = b.postcode;
quit;

Did the code fail because the input data sets don't exist?

Copy and run the code below to create the input data sets.

proc import datafile = "/folders/myfolders/Geo-targeting/Data Files/Sales_Q1.csv" out = Sales_Q1 dbms = CSV replace ; run; proc import datafile = "/folders/myfolders/Geo-targeting/Data Files/locations.csv" out = locations dbms = CSV replace ; run; proc import datafile = "/folders/myfolders/Geo-targeting/Data Files/postcode.csv" out = postcode dbms = CSV replace ; run;

The code above creates a new data set called SALES_Q1_LOC. 

The SALES_Q1_LOC table contains the six columns from the SALES_Q1 table:

• Configuration
• Customer_postcode
• Store_postcode
• Month
• Tran_date
• Price

It also contains two additional columns from the LOCATIONS table:

• STORE_X
• STORE_Y

The STORE_X and STORE_Y columns are the easting and northing coordinates of the corresponding stores.
