Hi,


data x;
val=24 ;po=4; y=val**po; output;
val=24 ;po=2; y=val**po; output;
val=24 ;po=5; y=val**po; output;
val=24 ;po=1; y=val**po; output;
val=24 ;po=2; y=val**po; output;
run;




Hope this is helpful.

Hi,

I have a dataset with:

data x;
val=24 ;po=4;
val=24 ;po=2;
val=24 ;po=5;
val=24 ;po=1;
val=24 ;po=2;
run;

I need to calculate the value of a variable y
based on val and po(which is a power of variable).
Is there a mathematical function to
do this

Desired result:

y=24*24*24*24;
y=24*24;
y=24*24*24*24*24;
y=24;
y=24*24

Thanks,
SP
