I receive data in the following format:
ID# Buildings Other
20 23, 3456, 34 10
45 101, 234, 245 230
I want to transform the dataset so that there is 1 record per id and building combination, which would look like this:
ID# Buildings Other
20 23 10
20 3456 10
20 34 10
45 101 230
45 234 230
45 245 230
How do I do that?
data want;
set have;
i=1;
do while(scan(buildings, i, ",") ne ' ');
new_buildings=scan(buildings, i, ", ");
output;
i+1;
end;
drop buildings;
run;
data want;
set have;
i=1;
do while(scan(buildings, i, ",") ne ' ');
new_buildings=scan(buildings, i, ", ");
output;
i+1;
end;
drop buildings;
run;
