First, working with the Transpose transformation, with long to wide, is kind of awkward and really not fit for implementation with metadata, since columns are createed dynamically based on input data.

Second, your output data doesn't look like a data ouput, more of a report. IMO that should be taken care of by a repoirting tool, not ETL.

That said, you can't force Transpose to generate the exact layout you want,if your data doen't support it.

Top of my head, I can think of one solution: prepare your input data, so you'll have 12 values for at least one BY group.

Thanks @LinusH .Would you please suggest how can we create this input data please.
Currently in my SAS job value are geeting created after sort transformation and then transform transformation where value1,value2...
are created.
now.would you kindly suggest where i can create input data with all value5,value6.. please.

Any other suggestions or advises please

[LinusH]

I guess a preceeeding data step in a User Written transform.

For each by group, restart a counter.

Use a DO-loop to explicitly output additional records with missing values for those by groups that doesn't have 12 records/values (currently all it seems).

Thanks .Sorry to trouble you.
Would you please help on code please.kindly have a look at below screen shot of transpose job please.But the value6,value7 ...till value12 data may be coming or may not be coming from source please.

but it should create 12 values unde proc transpose output.if the values are not coming for value6,value7...value12.it should display output as null please.iam trying by taking user written node transformation after sort with below code.but still it is not created desired output but just created based on values only please (value1..value6).but the job should ceate output columns value7..value12 )please.if in case future data will be coming for value6 ..value12 then sas job should be taken care.please advise.

data work.W1B6ODL4;
  set work.W8EDMBU2;

count + 1;
  by NAME VALUE STATUS;
  if first.NAME then count = 1;
  if VALUE then count = 1;
  if STATUS then count = 1;
run;
