Hi,

 

I need to restructure my data set in order to use it as social network data. In the attached file there is the input data and how I want it to be structured (Solution 1 or Solution 2).

1) no attached file

2) best to provide existing data in the form of a data step so we have no need to question variable names or types

3) I think you need to describe what is going on in "solution 1". Why is there a 2 A 1 but no 3 C 2 for instance.

 

Is solution 2 a report or a data set? You cannot have a variable named 1, 2 or 3 in a SAS data set so you would have to show what variables you actually want.

@ballardw and @juliehn - I removed the attachment (XLS) file and replaced with a picture inline -- thought that would be more useful for experts to respond.

I think you'll find either of your preferred structures will turn out to be impractical in practice, as the number of persons and meeting points expands. Here's a solution I did for someone else, which groups the nodes into networks. From there, you should be able to restructure it as needed.
