Is there any way to create duplicates of an observation in a dataset? I have dataset with EmpID and Entries column. Based on Entries column I would like to
create duplicate observation.
Example: If EmpID – 1000 has Entries = 5 then I would like the output as:
EmpID | Entries |
---|---|
10000 | 5 |
10000 | 5 |
10000 | 5 |
10000 | 5 |
10000 | 5 |
Thanks
Simple :
data myDataSet;
set myDataSet;
do _n_ = 1 to Entries;
output;
end;
run;
