Ah, I see what you want. It always helps to have the specs. Then, I think that PROC TABULATE would be better than PROC REPORT. Given the same data as above for 12 hours, use TABULATE with VALUE and VALUE2 in the row dimension and then HOUR in the column dimension.

ods listing close;

ods html file='c:\temp\two_val_tab_across.html';

proc tabulate data=hours f=comma6.0;

  var value value2;

  table value='Value' value2='Value2',

        hour / row=float;

  keylabel sum=' ';

using proc transpose; you need a name for your dataset, _null_ does not work here.

Jeff,

It depends on what you mean by "table".  If you mean "data set", then Linlin is exactly right.  If you mean "report", here's something that comes close:

data have;

   input hour value;

   obsno = _n_;

cards;

...

;

proc tabulate data=have;

   class obsno;

   var hour value;

   tables obsno='Observation Number' * sum=' ' * f=5.,
             hour value;

run;

I would guess you can get PROC REPORT to do this without creating OBSNO, but I'm not as familiar with it.

Good luck.

Sorry, I switched the rows and columns,  The TABLES statement should read:

tables hour value,

          obsno='Observation Number' * sum=' ' * f=5.;

Ooops.

Don't need the OBSNO 

proc tabulate data =<dataset name>;

class hour;

var value;

table value,

hour=''*max=''*f=f5.0/box='Hour';

run;

Here are a couple of REPORT step variations on your table.

title1 'Value for Each Hour';
proc report data=have nowd;
column ('Hour' hour),value;
define hour / across ' ';
define value / analysis ' ';
run;

proc report data=have nowd;
column label ('Hour' hour) ,value;
define label / computed ' ';
define hour / across ' ';
define value / analysis ' ';
compute label / char length=6;
   label='Value';
endcomp;
run;

Art,

How would I add multiple rows of variables to the table? Using your first example (which works great, thank you!):

title1 'Value for Each Hour';

proc report data=have nowd;

column('Hour' hour),value1, value2;

define hour / across ' ';

define value1 / analysis ' ';

define value2 / analysis ' ';

run;

I've tried several diffrent ways and read up on the PROC REPORT procedure but I keep getting the same error every time:

ERROR:  THERE IS MORE THAN ONE ANALYSIS USAGE ASSOCIATED WITH THE COLUMN DEFINED BY THE FOLLOWING ELEMENTS.

I've tried using DISPLAY and defining all the variables ACROSS but cannot get it.

Thanks!
Jeff

Hi:

  Using another comma in your COLUMN statement is probably NOT what you want to do.  I would not think that you would want to nest value2 under value1 (or value) under each hour.

  That is the cause of the error message that you are getting. Try the alternate syntax shown below (building on Art's example, but only with 12 hours)

INPUT HOUR VALUE value2;

RUN;

ods listing close;
ods html file='c:\temp\two_val_under_across.html';
 
title1 'Value for Each Hour';
proc report data=hours nowd;
column ('Hour' hour),(value value2);
define hour / across ' ';
define value / analysis 'Value';
define value2 / analysis 'Value2';
run;

      

proc report data=hours nowd;
column label ('Hour' hour) ,(value value2);
define label / computed ' ';
define hour / across ' ';
define value / analysis 'Value';
define value2 / analysis 'Value2';
compute label / char length=6;
   label='Value';
endcomp;

Cynthia,

Thanks for the response. I tried you code and it got me closer to my goal! What I'm trying to accomplish is a simple table of variables by hour:

Hour          0       1       2       3      4...

Value1     20     43     55     41     50

Value2     22     44     56     45     55            

I could have up to four variables per table I want to build. I've tried PROC TRANSPOSE but I can't get the labels correct.
