https://communities.sas.com/t5/Statistical-Procedures/Proc-Distance/m-p/14839#M304 I used Proc Distance to find the distance between 20 variables but it only gave me the bottom half. I know the top half will be symmetric but is there a way to get that? I used ANOMINAL(var1--var20); BY var21; format but it gave me the bottom half of the table and blank values above the diagonal row of zeros.
