How can I get the table below:

 

id month1 month2 month3 month4 math1  math2 math3 math4
1 1 2 3 4 10 15 24  .
2 1 2 3 4  . 15  . 12
3 1 2 3 4 15 18 17 13

 

 

My code below give the following table

 

id month1 month2 month3 month4 math1  math2 math3 math4
1 1 2 3  . 10 15 24  .
2 2 4  .  .  . 15  . 12
3 1 2 3 4 15 18 17 13

 

data tic;
input id country$ month math;
datalines;
1  1 10 
1  2 15 
1  3 24 
2  2 15 
2  4 12 
3  1 15 
3  2 16 
3  3 17 
3  4 15 
;
run;
proc sort data=tic;
by id;
run;

 data tot(drop=month math);
 retain month1-month4 math1-math4;
array tat{4} month1-month4;
array kat{4} math1-math4;
set tic;
by id;
if first.id then do;
i=1;
do j=1 to 4;
tat{j}=.;
kat{j}=.;
end;
end;
tat(i)=month;
kat(month)=math;
if last.id then output;
i+1;
run;

 What I want is to be able to produce the first table not the second table. The problem is with being able to sequentially number each column to tally with the column number per each id. any help is highly appreciated.

 

Thanks

If you don’t know the number of months/scores ahead of time use PROC TRANSPOSE instead and merge the results. This approach is fully dynamic and an earlier post had the code for this methodology.

Thanks for your response. Retain month1-month4(1:4) math1-math4;

It seems that month1-month4 have constant values, then replace last step into:

data tot(drop=month math);
   retain month1 1 
           month2 2
           month3 3
           month4 4
           math1-math4;

   array kat{4} math1-math4;
set tic;
by id;
    if first.id then do;
      do j=1 to 4;
           kat{j}=.;
      end;
   end;
   kat(month)=math;
   if last.id then output;
   DROP j month; /* ??? */
run;
