Hi,

 

I have a data table in the following form:

 

Company Var year_2001 year_2002
A x 11 31
A y 12 32
A z 13 33
B x 21 41
B y 22 42

 

And I would like this table to be transformed into the following table:

 

Company year x y z
A year_2001 11 12 13
A year_2002 31 32 33
B year_2001 21 22 .
B year_2002 41 42 .

 

So here what I need is to transform the values of "Var" into columns, and to transform the "2001" and "2002" columns into a new column "Year".

 

Thanks!

EDIT - realized after posting that I probably should have reversed the data set names.  🙂

2001 and 2002 are not valid SAS variable names 🙂
