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:
Location | Departments |
---|---|
Location 1 | 5400 |
Location 1 | 5401 |
Location 2 | 5402 |
Location 2 | 5403 |
Into this:
Location | Departments |
---|---|
Location 1 | 5400 |
5401 | |
Location 2 | 5402 |
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,
Jag
