VISIT VALUE
Week 2 1.5

it's not working
data val1;
input visit & $10. value ;
cards;
Week 2 1.5
Week 4 2.3
Week 8 3.2
;
run;
data want;
merge val1 val1(firstobs=2 keep=visit rename=(visit=_visit)) end=last;
array x{6} $32 _temporary_ ('Week 2' 'Week 4' 'Week 6' 'Week 8' 'Week 10' 'Week 12');
output;
do i=whichc(visit,of x{*})+1 to ifn(last,6,whichc(_visit,of x{*})-1);
visit=x{i};output;
end;
drop i _visit;
run;
proc print;run;
