I was wondering If there is a way to remove duplicate column values without removing the entire row. This is purely for formatting, and i'd just like to take a step out of my manual workflow.

Basically I'd like to turn this:

LocationDepartments
Location 15400
Location 15401
Location 25402
Location 25403

Into this:

LocationDepartments
Location 15400
5401
Location 25402
5403

Thanks.

Here you go:

data have;

infile cards dsd dlm=',';

length location $10.;

input Location $ Departments $;

cards;   

Location 1,5400

Location 1,5401

Location 2,5402

Location 2,5403

;

run;

proc print data=have;id location;by location;

Hi,

And, PROC REPORT will do this for you too.

cynthia

proc report data=have nowd;

  column location departments;

  define location / order;

  define departments /display;

run;

Alternatively you could achieve the same in a datastep by

data want;

set have;

by location;

if not first.location then location='';

run;

Thanks,
