i using your example I tweaked it to fit my code

proc sort data = part2;

by number;

run;

proc transpose data = part2 out temp(drop=_:) prefix = v_;

by number ;

id facevalue; idlabel facevalue;

var ebal;

run;

i get this error message

error The id value "v_1_00" occurs twice in the same by group.

note the above message was for the following by group number = 4407

it happens six more time same error message different number

tthanks for your assistance

It could be that

1) You have duplicate values for facevalue in some number groups or

2) The format associated with facevalue makes certain values look the same when creating new column names. I.e. 1.001 and 1.002 with format 5.2 will both generate the same variable name v_1_00

Make sure that all facevalue values are unique within number groups and that they also look unique when formatted.

data have;

input number Value Balance;

datalines;

1. 1. 1

1. 2. 5

1. 3. 10

1. 4. 20

;

data want;
set have(rename=(balance=b)) end=last;
array v(4);
retain v;
v(_n_)=b;

if last then
do;
balance=sum(of v{*});
output;
end;

drop value B;
run;
