Hi everyone,
My question: I have a dataset with three columns [ID $; Group (class variable); Value (continuous)] - sample code provided below.
My goal: change values for group 0 to be equivalent to the values for group 1 (by equivalent I want both groups to have same average).
The problem: I can't make up values. A member (ID) from Group 0 *must* take a value from group 1 (doesn't matter who) and the program needs to terminate once the averages between the two groups are equivalent (or ideally a user specified tolerance, say 1% or 5% within each other). The other problem is that the dataset has dozens of other records that I need to retain, so do not want to transpose. Exporting the Group=1 into a new dataset and then re-joining to the original is fine, but I would like the structure to remain in tact.
Appreciate the help if someone has some time. Happy to clarify. Kind regards, Nate

Hi Ksharp - and thank you. Sadly, no, running SAS University Edition via virtual machine.
If your dataset is small , could try Academic SAS On-Demand.
Thanks Ksharp - this solution does work.
