Hi,
I have data like this

Date
01oct2021
10oct2021
05oct2021
11oct2021
01oct2021
05oct2021

It contain duplicate values.
I need to transpose in row manner. For example,

Usually this is not a good idea, but here you are

data have;
input Date :date9.;
format Date date9.;
datalines;
01oct2021
10oct2021
05oct2021
11oct2021
01oct2021
05oct2021
10oct2021
;

proc sort data = have nodupkey;
   by Date;
run;

proc transpose data = have out = want prefix = d;
   var Date;
run;

So, @Pooja98 as you can see from the reply by @PeterClemmensen this is easy to do.

However, usually its not a good thing to do because it makes the next steps (the analysis, or the report) more difficult. Would you be kind enough to tell us what the next steps (analysis or report) will be?

I'd recommend adding an IDLABEL option here and have the label be the date.
