I have a list of medical providers which includes their name, address, city zip, phone, and fax information in a different column, something like this:

 

Practice_Name        Address_1          City          ZIP     

OfficeA                    123 Main St      Denver       80202   

OfficeB                    841 20th St      Denver       80012

OfficeC                   425 Fern Ave    Denver       80202

 

What I want is to have these practices listed by ZIP code,  arranged as such:

 

ZIP             Practice1        Address1         City1     Practice 2   Address2           City2

80202        OfficeA           123 Main St     Denver     OfficeC    425 Fern Ave   Denver

80012         OfficeB          841 20th St      Denver

 

When I try a PROC TRANSPOSE:

PROC TRANSPOSE Data=B out=C
PREFIX=Site;
By Zip;
VAR Address_1 Address_2 Phone Fax;
run;

I get thisUntitled.png

 

How do I code this so that the multiple attributes of each provider are their own column?

Arthur.T 's macro is awesome. Here is another simple way.

 

data have;
input Practice_Name  : $20.      Address_1  & $20.        City    $      ZIP  ;
cards; 
OfficeA                    123 Main St      Denver       80202   
OfficeB                    841 20th St      Denver       80012
OfficeC                   425 Fern Ave    Denver       80202
;
run;

proc sort data=have out=temp;
by zip;
run;
proc sql noprint;
 select max(n) into : n
  from (select count(*) as n from have group by zip);
quit;
proc summary data=temp;
by zip;
output out=want(drop=_type_ _freq_) idgroup(out[&n] (Practice_Name  Address_1 City)=);
run;

I think I found an answer here using a double transpose

https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Procedures/Proc-transpose-Problem/td-p/166095.

 

It renames the columns a weird way but that can easily be changed in excel before export to ArcGIS. Is there a better way than double transpose? Thanks!

And what use is ArcGIS going to use multiple Practice/ Address/ City fields for?

The little bit I have worked with ArcGIS I haven't ever seen a need for that wide format and tend to think it will cause problems for actual uses such as geocoding or mapping.

 

If you want things grouped I would suggest a sort by ZIP.

This is one of several first steps in creating a searchable website whereby you type in a zip code and it tells you what is nearest to that zipcode (centroid). I need this to determine which zips have 1, more than 1, or no providers. I'll then be running network analyst on the addresses. Otherwise a simple PROC FREQ would've worked where I could count the ZIPS w/o any providers (nulls).

@BenWW85: The following macro will perform the transformation you are trying to achieve.

 

In case you're interested, here is the link to the published paper ( http://www.sascommunity.org/wiki/A_Better_Way_to_Flip_(Transpose)_a_SAS_Dataset ). However, I had to modify the macro to correctly deal with a rename dataset option as needed for your particular task. I'd have posted the updated macro on sasCommunity.org, but the site is now read only.

 

The last two lines are the macro call you'd need to obtain the data set you want given your example. As such, if you copy and paste the entire code, then click run, you should get the desired resulting file (i.e., C):

 

/** The %transpose macro
  *
  * This program performs transpositions of SAS datasets very similar to those that
  * can be achieved with PROC TRANSPOSE, but in such a manner that is easier to use
  * when performing complex transpositions and runs significantly faster
  *
  * AUTHORS: Arthur Tabachneck, Xia Ke Shan, Robert Virgile and Joe Whitehurst
  * CREATED: January 20, 2013
  * MODIFIED: September 4, 2014
  * MODIFIED: September 15, 2017
  * MODIFIED: January 16, 2018

  Parameter Descriptions:

  *libname_in* the parameter to which you can assign the name of the SAS library that
  contains the dataset you want to transpose. If left null, and the data parameter is
  only assigned a one-level filename, the macro will set this parameter to equal WORK

  *libname_out* the parameter to which you can assign the name of the SAS library
  where you want the transposed file written. If left null, and the out parameter only
  has a one-level filename assigned, the macro will set this parameter to equal WORK

  *data* the parameter to which you would assign the name of the file that you want
  to transpose.  Like with PROC TRANSPOSE, you can use either a one or two-level
  filename.  If you assign a two-level file name, the first level will take precedence
  over the value set in the libname_in parameter.  If you assign a one-level
  filename, the libname in the libname_in parameter will be used. Additionally, as
  with PROC TRANSPOSE, the data parameter will also accept data step options. Thus,
  for example, if you had a dataset called 'have' and want to limit the transposition
  to just the first 10 records, you could specify it as: data=have (obs=10). Any
  data step options accepted by a SAS data step can be included

  *out* the parameter to which you would assign the name of the transposed file that
  you want the macro to create.  Like with PROC TRANSPOSE, you can use either a one
  or two-level filename.  If you use assign a two-level file name, the first level
  will take precedence over the value set in the libname_out parameter.  If you use a
  one-level filename, the libname in the libname_out parameter will be used

  *by* the parameter to which you would assign the name of the data’s by variable
  or variables.  The by parameter is identical to the by statement used in PROC
  TRANSPOSE, namely the identification of the variable that the macro will use to
  form by groups, however one or more by variables must be specified.  By groups
  define the record level of the resulting transposed file

  *prefix* the parameter to which you would assign a string that you want each
  transposed variable to begin with

  *var* the parameter to which you would assign the name or names of the variables
  that you want the macro to transpose.  You can assign any combination of variable
  names or variable list(s) that you could assign to PROC TRANSPOSE’s var statement.
  If left null, all variables, all numeric variables, or all character variables
  (other than by, id and copy variables) will be assigned, dependent upon the value
  assigned to the autovars parameter

  *autovars* the parameter to which you would assign the types of variables you want
  automatically assigned to the var parameter in the event that the var parameter has
  a null value.  Possible values are: NUM, CHAR or ALL.  If left null, the macro code
  will set this parameter to equal NUM

  *id* the parameter to which you would assign the variable whose values you want
  concatenated with the var variable(s) selected.  Only one variable can be assigned
  
  *descendingid* the parameter that defines whether id values should be output in
  descending order. Possible values are YES or NO. If left null, the macro code will
  set this parameter to equal NO and id values will be output in ascending order

  *var_first* the parameter that defines whether var names should precede id values in
  the concatenated variable names resulting from a transposition. Possible values are
  YES or NO.  Concatenated variables names will be constructed as follows:
  prefix+(var or id)+delimiter+(var or id).  If left null, the macro code will set
  this parameter to equal YES

  *format* the parameter to which you would assign the format you want applied
  to the id variable in the event you don't want the variable’s actual format
  to be applied. If left null, and the variable doesn't have a format assigned,
  the macro code will create a format based on the variable's type and length

  *delimiter* the parameter to which you would assign the string you want
  assigned between the id values and var variable names in the variable name
  that will be assigned to the transposed variables the macro will create

  *copy* the parameter to which you would assign the name or names of any
  variables that you want the macro to copy rather than transpose
  
  *drop* the parameter to which you would assign the name(s)  of any variables
  you want dropped from the output.  Since only &by, &copy and transposed variables
  are kept, this parameter would only be used if you want to drop one or more of the
  &by variables

  *sort* the parameter to which you would indicate whether the input dataset
  must first be sorted before the data is transposed.  Possible values are:
  YES or NO. If left null, the macro code will set this parameter to equal NO

  *sort_options* while the noequals option will be used for all sorts, you would use
  this parameter to specify any additional options you want used (e.g., presorted,
  force and/or tagsort

  *use_varname* the parameter you would use if you don't want the var names
  to be included in the transposed variable names.  Possible values are: YES or NO.
  If left null, the macro code will set this parameter to equal YES
  
  *suffix* the parameter to which you would assign the string you want
  assigned to the end of the transposed variables the macro will create
  

  *preloadfmt* If you want to predefine all possible id variable values, and the
  order in which those values will be assigned to the transposed variables, you can
  use this parameter to assign a one or two-level filename for a file you want the
  macro to use.  The file must contain a variable that has the same name as the data
  file's id variable, and a 2nd variable called 'order' that will reflect the desired
  order. The file must have one record for every id value the macro will find in the
  data, although it can also contain id values that aren't present in the data.
  Regarding the order variable, the value 1 must be assigned to the value you want
  furthest left, increasing by 1 for each remaining value, and the furthest right
  variable must be equal to the total number of id levels. If a two-level file name
  is specified, the first level will take precedence over the value set in the
  libname_in parameter. If a one-level filename is assigned, the libname in the
  libname_in parameter will be used (or 'work' if the libname_in parameter is null)

  Example:
  data order;
    input date date9. order;
    cards;
  31mar2013 1
  30jun2013 2
  30sep2013 3
  31dec2013 4
  ;

  *guessingrows* the parameter you would use to specify the maximum number of rows
  that will be read to determine the output ordering of the id variable’s values.
  If left null, the macro will set this parameter high enough to read all records

  *newid* the parameter you would use to specify the name you want to assign a
  new variable that will be created in the event that you don't specify an id
  variable.  If not declared, this parameter will be set to equal '_row'

  *convertid* is the parameter you would use to indicate that your ID variable
  contains any characters that aren't either alphanumeric or '_'.
  If not declared, this parameter will be set to equal 'NO'

Arthur.T 's macro is awesome. Here is another simple way.

 

data have;
input Practice_Name  : $20.      Address_1  & $20.        City    $      ZIP  ;
cards; 
OfficeA                    123 Main St      Denver       80202   
OfficeB                    841 20th St      Denver       80012
OfficeC                   425 Fern Ave    Denver       80202
;
run;

proc sort data=have out=temp;
by zip;
run;
proc sql noprint;
 select max(n) into : n
  from (select count(*) as n from have group by zip);
quit;
proc summary data=temp;

output out=want(drop=_type_ _freq_) idgroup(out[&n] (Practice_Name  Address_1 City)=);
run;

@Ksharp and @BenWW85: Yes, both methods will work as long as there are fewer than 100 address records for each zip code. @Ksharp's method won't work if the desired wide file has 100 or more sets of practice/address/city columns.
