Fillin in data after Transpose

[BigZ]

HI All,

I am trying to do some Regression analysis and the table that I am using as my input has some data gaps.

Thesis what I mean by it. I used "Spit Column" function in the EG in order to create a Cross tab Table from a flat table. However as is the case in some cases there is some missing data here and there.

So my question is how do I make empty points (.) become 0 so that I can do my regression analysis.

For general reference I have showed how data looks after transposing the input table.

Company	Product 1	Product 2	Product 3	Product 4
1	$5	.	$200	$70
2	.	.	$23	.
3	$40	$70	.	$100
4	$23	.	$44	$1

P.S. There are about 70 Products so i tough about writing a new query and doing computations on each of the new columns but that just seems crazy.

Thanks for any help you can offer.

What kind of analysis were you planning?

It may be that your data structure would work better as: Company ProductDescription Value. Then you wouldn't have any "gaps".

well I need to see what Products have the highest impact on Product1.

Give this a try:

proc stdize data=have out=want reponly MISSING=0;

var Product1-Product4;

run;

Hi TomKari, the image bellow is the process I have in my EG Project. Where would you recommend i place your code?

[TomKari]

Put it in as a code node (File | New | Program), link the output dataset from your "Split Columns" to it, and replace the dataset name "have" with the name of the dataset created by your split columns.
