Good afternoon,

 

I am trying to modify the structure of a data set and unsure how.

 

Data Set I have:

 

Census_st_cde     01/01/1990     02/01/1990     03/01/1990     04/01/1990

         AL                      6.72                6.71               6.68                6.64

         AK                      7.17                7.21               7.22                7.21

 

Data Set I need:

 

                      Census_st_cde

01/01/1990             AL               6.72

01/01/1990             AK               7.17

02/01/1990             AL               6.71

02/01/1990             AK               7.21

03/01/1990             AL               6.68

03/01/1990             AK               7.22

04/01/1990             AL               6.64

04/01/1990             AK               7.21

 

Any thoughts would help.

 

Thanks.

What form is your source dataset in? Those are illegal variable names for "stock" SAS variables. Are you using extended naming, or is it in a format like Excel or CSV?
