stucked by proc transpose

superbug — Wed, 11 Mar 2020 14:55:21 GMT

As attached, my data named "try" was generated by "proc summary" in previous step. Now I want to use "proc transpose" to reformat the data using the following code

proc sort data=try; by level id year; run;

proc transpose data=try
out=try1;
var nclass;
by level id year;
run;

But got the result as the attached data try1.

I seems there is issue of my "try" data. please help.

thanks!

Not clear what you want, but you probably want to use YEAR as an ID variable instead of BY variable.

proc transpose data=try out=want prefix=Year_ ;
  by level id ;
  id year;
  var nclass;
run;

proc print data=want; run;

                                 Year_    Year_    Year_    Year_    Year_    Year_    Year_
Obs    level     id     _NAME_     2013     2014     2015     2016     2017     2018     2019

 1      PT      0001    nclass      44       37       45       44       43       39       41
 2      PT      0002    nclass      55       53       54       55       49       51       56
 3      PT      0008    nclass      28       42       38       35       38       40       38
