My dataset is in SAS. In the dataset currently, each row represents one observation and each column represents one variable.
But I need to create and export a version of my SAS dataset in which each column represents one observation, and each row represents one variable.
In other words, I want to go from something like this...
Fname | Lname | Age | Zipcode | |
1 | John | Smith | 32 | 30303 |
2 | Mary | Jones | 28 | 30304 |
3 | Sue | Wilson | 54 | 30305 |
4 | Bob | Anders | 43 | 30306 |
5 | Sam | Rogers | 19 | 30307 |
6 | Chris | Doe | 27 | 30308 |
7 | Tom | Smith | 18 | 30309 |
8 | Kate | Adams | 41 | 30310 |
9 | Greg | Wade | 38 | 30311 |
to this...
1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | |
Fname | John | Mary | Sue | Bob | Sam | Chris | Tom | Kate | Greg |
Lname | Smith | Jones | Wilson | Anders | Rogers | Doe | Smith | Adams | Wade |
Age | 32 | 28 | 54 | 43 | 19 | 27 | 18 | 41 | 38 |
Zipcode | 30303 | 30304 | 30305 | 30306 | 30307 | 30308 | 30309 | 30310 | 30311 |
In MS Excel, I can do this using the option "Edit >> Copy >> Paste Special >> Transpose" but I need to do this operation in SAS and not in Excel.
My SAS dataset is too large for me to manipulate manage it in Excel, so manually using the "Transpose" feature in Excel is not an option for me.
Any suggestions?
proc transpose data=sashelp.class out=class;
var _all_;
run;
THANK YOU! Worked perfectly. Awesome!
