Newbie: How to swap row and columns in list table in Visual Analytics 7.3?

obertel — Fri, 01 Dec 2017 10:20:34 GMT

I'm struggling with a simple task. Having one category (year/month) and two measures, I want to create a report with year/month in the columns and the two measures in the rows.

Default the list table object looks like this:

Measure1 Measure2

2017-jan 10 20

2017-feb 15 10

2017-mar 11 12

2017-...

The requirement is to swap the rows and columns to get this result:

2017-jan 2017-feb 2017-mar 2017-...

Measure1 10 15 11

Measure2 20 10 12

I have already looked into crosstab but it doesn't seem to give the required result.

I'm using SAS Visual Analytics 7.3.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

/Ole

See if this gets you started:

data measures;
	input mydate:mmddyy10. measure1 measure2;
	format mydate mmddyy10.;
datalines;
1/1/2017	10	20
2/1/2017	15	10
3/1/2017	11	12
;
run;

proc transpose data = measures out = measures_transposed;
id mydate;
run;

proc print noobs;
run;

In 7.3, measures cannot be on the rows in a crosstab. The ability to put measures on the rows is planned for 8.2, although features for software in development are not guaranteed.
