;
run;
data want;
length want $ 2000;
do until(last.Shopper_ID);
set have;
by Shopper_ID ;
want=catx(',',want,items);
end;
drop items;
run;
If you're working with the GUI, then you would first Transpose the data using a TRANSPOSE task and then you can aggregate them using the function CATX in a query and using a calculated column.
