Hi,

 

It's kind of Transpose question.

 

Now I have data,

IDUnitNumOwnCar1OwnCar2OwnCar3
11213
12213
13213
2124 
2324 

 

I wonder how can I transpose to,

IDUnitNumOwnCar
112
121
133
212
234


Many thanks!

If not the simple above, then my assumption2

 

data have;
infile cards truncover;
input ID	UnitNum	OwnCar1	OwnCar2	OwnCar3;
cards;
1	1	2	1	3
1	2	2	1	3
1	3	2	1	3
2	1	2	4	. 
2	3	2	4	.
; 

proc transpose data= have out=temp(drop=_name_ where=(owncar ne .) rename=(col1=owncar));
by id unitnum;
var owncar:;
run;
data want;
do until(last.id);
k+1;
 do _iorc_=1 by 1 until(last.unitnum);
  set temp;
  by id unitnum;
  if _iorc_=k then output;
 end;
end;
k=.;
drop k;
run;

Hi @jordenlam  i am going with my assumption

 

Are you sure about 

2  3  4 result(the last one)

data have;
infile cards truncover;
input ID	UnitNum	OwnCar1	OwnCar2	OwnCar3;
cards;
1	1	2	1	3
1	2	2	1	3
1	3	2	1	3
2	1	2	4	. 
2	3	2	4	.
; 

data want;
set have;
array t owncar1-owncar3;
OwnCar=t(unitnum);
run;

Hello @jordenlam   how about this?

data have;
infile cards truncover;
input ID	UnitNum	OwnCar1	OwnCar2	OwnCar3;
cards;
1	1	2	1	3
1	2	2	1	3
1	3	2	1	3
2	1	2	4	. 
2	3	2	4	.
; 

data want;
 do _n_=1 by 1 until(last.id);
 set have;
 by id;
 array t(*) OwnCar1	OwnCar2	OwnCar3;
 OwnCar=t(_n_);
 output;
 end;
 keep  id unitnum owncar;
run;
