Depends on how the rest of your data set look like.
How did you get this layout? It looks like a transpose that went wrong.
I would prefer a normalized table design, which is more flexible to most reporting requirements. That would mean to transpose columns to rows, having one year, and one colour column. For your particular example it would be a quite simple use of the coalesce () function.
Data never sleeps
Astounding
PROC Star

Here's an approach that doesn't require you to spell out all the variables you need to work with:

 

proc sort data=have;

by region vehicle;

run;

 

data want;

update have (obs=0) have;

by region vehicle;

run;

 

Good luck.
