Transposing after proc compare with duplicates

SasPerson85 — Thu, 28 Jun 2018 21:17:48 GMT

Hello,

I am trying to transpose data after the proc compare.

Here is what the data currently looks like after the proc compare:

fullname	_type_	cube	mdx_condition
Testuser1	BASE	UG_Applicants	XYZ
Testuser1	BASE	UG_Degrees	XYZ
Testuser1	BASE	UG_Enrollment	XYZ
Testuser1	BASE	GR_Applicants	XYZ
Testuser1	BASE	GR_Degrees	XYZ
Testuser1	BASE	GR_Enrollment	XYZ
Testuser2	COMPARE	Waitlist_Student_Data	abc
Testuser2	COMPARE	UG_Applicants	abc
Testuser2	COMPARE	UG_Degrees	abc
Testuser2	COMPARE	UG_Enrollment	abc

Here is what I need the data to look like:

fullname Variable Name BASE COMPARE

Testuser1	UG_Applicants	xyz
Testuser1	UG_Degrees	xyz
Testuser1	UG_Enrollment	xyz
Testuser1	GR_Applicants	xyz
Testuser1	GR_Degrees	xyz
Testuser1	GR_Enrollment	xyz
Testuser2	Waitlist_Student_Data		abc
Testuser2	UG_Applicants		abc
Testuser2	UG_Degrees		abc
Testuser2	UG_Enrollment		abc

Any help would be great, thanks!

Can you show what you tried?

Is the exact order important? If so transpose may not be the best way.

Perhaps:

data want;
   set have;
   If _type_='BASE' then BASE=mdx_condition;
   else if _type_='COMPARE' then Compare=mdx_condition;
   drop _type_ mdx_condition;
run;

if you want to change the variable name from cube to variable_name either use rename or add a label for cube.
