Now Ensure that your new dataset contains only 3 Variables and 15 Observations.

Raw Data

1 Palcebo "Dosing with 240ml Distilled water"
2 "Active Drug" "Dosing with 240ml Glucose Water"
3 "Active Drug" "Dosing with 240ml Glucose Water"
4 "Palcebo" "Dosing with 240ml distilled water"
5 "Active Drug" "Dosing with 240ml Glucose Water"
6 "Palcebo" "Dosing with 240ml distilled water"
7 "Active Drug" "Dosing with 240ml Glucose Water"
8 "Palcebo" "Dosing with 240ml distilled water"
9 "Palcebo" "Dosing with 240ml distilled water"
10 "Active Drug" "Dosing with 240ml Glucose Water"
11 "Active Drug" "Dosing with 240ml Glucose Water"
12 "Palcebo" "Dosing with 240ml distilled water"
13 "Active Drug" "Dosing with 240ml Glucose Water"
14 "Palcebo" "Dosing with 240ml distilled water"
15 "Active Drug" "Dosing with 240ml Glucose Water"

Can any one sugess me with best answer

What do you have so far? This really looks like homework as well, so you should give it a try.

Please show the code you used. I suspect that you only need to add a DSD option to an infile statement;

data have;
   infile datalines dlm=' ' dsd missover;
   informat row best. cat $20. dose $50.;
   input row cat dose;
datalines;
1 Palcebo "Dosing with 240ml Distilled water"
2 "Active Drug" "Dosing with 240ml Glucose Water"
3 "Active Drug" "Dosing with 240ml Glucose Water"
4 "Palcebo" "Dosing with 240ml distilled water"
5 "Active Drug" "Dosing with 240ml Glucose Water"
6 "Palcebo" "Dosing with 240ml distilled water"
7 "Active Drug" "Dosing with 240ml Glucose Water"
8 "Palcebo" "Dosing with 240ml distilled water"
9 "Palcebo" "Dosing with 240ml distilled water"
10 "Active Drug" "Dosing with 240ml Glucose Water"
