combine two tables

echoli — Fri, 14 Apr 2017 18:55:52 GMT

Hi All,

Is there a way to combine two tables but with different format in SAS?

For example:

I have two tables Variable_1 and Variable_2, ABC columns are character format, DEF columns are PVALUE format, I want to make a table as shown below, is that possible?

I use:

data want;

set Variable_1 Variable_2;

run;

But can't output the same table as below.

Variable_1	A	B	C
	Child	Young	Teen
Variable_2	D	E	F
	0.3	0.4	0.5

Thanks,

Any column in a SAS dataset must be of the same type. It may be possible to generate a report that looks like that.

We would need a bit more information about how the rows of the two data sets are related and preferably some example data to manipulate.

Well, yes it can be done...

Variable_1	A	B	C
	Child	Young	Teen

Variable_2	D	E	F
	0.3	0.4	0.5

but I suspect you're about to say "but that's not what I want", because it doesn't make a great deal of sense. If you tell us what's wrong with this, we'll get closer to what you need.
