Dear SAS users,

Is there any Advance SAS user which can help me transpose some data.
Here is the example of starting table how it looks:

ACCOUNT_IDAPPLICATION_IDK_202001J_202001Z_202001K_202002J_202002Z_202002K_202003J_202003Z_202003
110123111213212223
220456141516242526
330789171819272829


And this is the results I want to have:

DATEACCOUNT_IDAPPLICATION_IDKJZ
202001110123
202001220456
202001330789
202002110111213
202002220141516
202002330171819
202003110212223
202003220242526
202003330272829



Thank you in advance brothers and sisters 🙂 

Kind regards,
Nikola

Please post data in usable form, those tables are nice to look at, but lack information about type and length of the variables.

This could be a solution:

data transposed;
	set have;
	
	length dateStr $ 6 variable $ 1 value 8 VarName $ 32;
	
	array vars K_202001--Z_202003;
	
	do i = 1 to dim(vars);
		VarName = vname(vars[i]);
		variable = first(VarName);
		dateStr = scan(VarName, 2, '_');
		value = vars[i];
		output;
	end;
	
	keep dateStr variable value Account_id Application_ID;
run;

proc sort data=work.transposed;
	by  dateStr Account_id Application_ID variable;
run;

proc transpose data=transposed out=want(drop=_name_);
	by dateStr Account_id Application_ID ;
	var value;
	id variable;
run;
