Merge and Transpose at the Same Time

[DavidPhillips2]

I have a transpose / merge question.  I have two tables. 

Table Dimension which contains columns name colname rank year yeartype employee category tenure and year conformed. 

Table data contains columns unitId Insitution_name and many measures with names that correlate to dimension.name.

My goal is to merge the two tables such that the numeric values are displayed side by side with the dimensional fields.  Effectively the employees column in the display is created from the measure column.  I will then merge each of the measure columns vertically.

Please advise on the merge process.

Desired output is below:

		Measure column
UnitID	Institution_Name	Employees	Rank	year	yearType	employee_category	tenure	yearConformed
231624	College of William and Mary	174	Associate Professors	2016	S	Faculty	Tenured	1617
126818	Colorado State University-Fort Collins	329	Associate Professors	2016	S	Faculty	Tenured	1617
134097	Florida State University	294	Associate Professors	2016	S	Faculty	Tenured	1617
232186	George Mason University	337	Associate Professors	2016	S	Faculty	Tenured	1617
139940	Georgia State University	268	Associate Professors	2016	S	Faculty	Tenured	1617
153603	Iowa State University	378	Associate Professors	2016	S	Faculty	Tenured	1617
159391	Louisiana State University and Agricultural & Mechanical College	268	Associate Professors	2016	S	Faculty	Tenured	1617

It looks like first I transpose the data then I merge it.

proc sort data=combined2;
by UnitID 'Institution Name'n;
run;

proc transpose data=combined2 out=testing;
var 'All ranks (S2012_SIS_RV Wi_0001'n 'No academic rank (S2012_SIS_0002'n 'No academic rank (S2012_SIS_0003'n;
by UnitID 'Institution Name'n;
run;

This paper is really good.
