I looking to take three different exposures and tranpose their means to a single "site" variable. I'll post sample data to show what I mean. So I want to condense the site variable into one observation and tranpose the mean variable into three different variable for each exposure. For the real data I have a lot more IDs, sites, timepoints, etc. Any one have any ideas on how I would go about this? I was thinking about splitting up the data but wasn't sure of a good approach. Thanks for any help. 

 

What I have           
Date Animal_ID Site Timepoint Exposure Mean  
1-Jul 12 W1 Day 1 a 13  
1-Jul 12 C Day 1 a 23  
1-Jul 12 W1 Day 1 b 25  
1-Jul 12 C Day 1 b 14  
1-Jul 12 W1 Day 1 c 23  
1-Jul 12 C Day 1 c 51  
1-Jul 13 W1 Day 1 a 23  
1-Jul 13 C Day 1 a 52  
1-Jul 13 W1 Day 1 b 36  
1-Jul 13 C Day 1 b 15  
1-Jul 13 W1 Day 1 c 29  
1-Jul 13 C Day 1 c 31  
             
What I Want          
Date Animal_ID Site Timepoint Mean A Mean B Mean C
1-Jul 12 W1 Day1 13 25 23
1-Jul 12 C Day1 23 14 51
1-Jul 13 W1 Day1 23 36 29
1-Jul 13 C Day1 52 15 31

Proc transpose should work, make sure to sort the data by the BY variables first. 

 

Proc transpose data = have out=want prefix=mean;

by date animal_id site timepoint;

vat mean;

id exposure;

run;

Thank you I'll give that a try tomorrow morning. I always have such a hard time wrapping my head around transposing data.
