Hello! I'm attempting to create a new variable that assigns the mean in period 2 to period 1 for each group. Better to explain with the data. 

 

This is what I have: 

data have;
input group period mean;
datalines;
1 1 10
1 2 20
2 1 33
2 2 22
3 1 21
3 2 34
4 1 33
4 2 32
;
run;

This is what I want:

data want;
input group period mean meanp2;
datalines;
1 1 10 20 
1 2 20 20
2 1 33 22
2 2 22 22
3 1 21 34
