Hi,
Can someone help me with the below issue,
I've few columns in a tabls like showing below image. I want the second image as my output.
How can I do it using SQL.
The query which I've used to get first table is:
PROC SQL ;
CREATE TABLE MTG.NEW AS
SELECT DISTINCT CLIENTNAME, VERSION FROM MTG.NEW_CLIENT;
data NEW;
input CLIENTNAME$ VERSION;
cards;
Client1 8.1
Client1 8.2
Client2 8.1
Client2 8.2
Client3 8.1
Client4 8.1
Client5 8.1
;
run;
proc transpose data=NEW out=OUT1;
var VERSION;
by CLIENTNAME;
run;
options missing="";
data OUT2;
length VERSION2 $20.;
set OUT1;
VERSION2 = catx("," , of COL:);
run;
options missing=".";
Using a SAS data step would be much easier. Does it need to be a SQL? And if yes: why?
Hi,
no need of Sql. But I'm not sure of how to do it using DATA step.
could you please explain me..?
try something like the following;
data want;
set have;
length new_var $256.;
retain new_var;
by client_id;
if first.client_id then new_var=var;
else new_var=catx(',', new_var, var);
if last.client_id then output;
run;
proc sql;
create table MTG.NEW as
select clientname,case when min(version)=max(version) then put(min(version),8.1) else
catx(",",min(version),max(version)) end as version from have
group by clientname;
quit;
Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
The code is very good for my purpose although it has got some data type issue with PUT function.
data NEW;
input CLIENTNAME$ VERSION;
cards;
Client1 8.1
Client1 8.2
Client2 8.1
Client2 8.2
Client3 8.1
Client4 8.1
Client5 8.1
;
run;
proc transpose data=NEW out=OUT1;
var VERSION;
by CLIENTNAME;
run;
options missing="";
data OUT2;
length VERSION2 $20.;
set OUT1;
VERSION2 = catx("," , of COL:);
run;
options missing=".";
