Hi,
I have a data set with that looks like:
ID File_period
1 201301
1 201302
1 201303
2 201302
2 201303
3 201301
I would like a unique data set by ID and a new variable for all the file periods, for example:
ID File_Period_1 File_Period_2 File_Period_3
1 201301 201302 201303
2 201302 201301
3 201301
The number of file periods will vary by ID.
I'm not sure what the best way to run this loop, any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
What you are doing is often called transposing from Long to Wide format.
proc transpose data=have out=want (drop=_name_)
prefix=File_period_;
by id;
var File_period;
run;
Please make your entries Questions in the format not Discussions when they are questions.
Thank you.
