I have the below data set
Cust_Num Updatedt
1 10/10/12
1 5/21/15
1 6/17/17
2 4/12/15
2 5/12/16
and would like to Convert it to the following:
Cust_Num First_Update Second_Update Third_Update Fourth_Update
1 10/10/12 05/21/15 6/17/17 CURRENT_DATE
2 04/12/15 05/12/16 CURRENT_DATE CURRENT_DATE
Appreciate your help.
PROC TRANSPOSE will get you started.
Can you tell us what you will do the results?
I ask because there a many tasks that get much harder after transposed to the "wide" form you request.
Also, since I have to assume "current_date" means the date the transform is performed, this is a potential problem as running the same code on the same data can yield a different result. Keeping track of such differences may make the project harder to manage.
