Hello, 

 

I have data that looks like the following: 

ID AE_TYPE AE_DATE
1 A 08-05-2022
1 B .
1 C 08-05-2022
1 D 08-05-2022
1 E 06-23-2021
2 A  
2 B 05-07-2019
2 C 04-15-2020
2 D 05-07-2019
2 E  
3 A 07-21-2016
3 B  
3 C 09-25-2018
3 D 11-09-2017
3 E  

 



data have;
	input ID AE_TYPE $ AE_DATE :mmddyy10. ;
	format AE_DATE mmddyy10.;
	cards;
	1	A	08-05-2022
	1	B	.
	1	C	08-05-2022
	1	D	08-05-2022
	1	E	06-23-2022
	2	A	.
	2	B	05-07-2019
	2	C	04-15-2020
	2	D	05-07-2019
	2	E	.
	3	A	07-21-2016
	3	B	.
	3	C	09-25-2018
	3	D	11-09-2017
	3	E	.
;
run;

I would like to have the data look like the following: 

ID AE_TYPE AE_DATE AE_TYPEA AE_TYPEB AE_TYPEC AE_TYPED AE_TYPEE
1 A C D  08-05-2022 1   1 1  
1 E  06-23-2021         1
2 B D 05-07-2019   1   1  
2 C 04-15-2020     1    
3 A 07-21-2016 1        
3 C 09-25-2018     1    
3 D 11-09-2017       1  

 

Essentially, I need those that have the same AE_DATE to be represented in the same row, and those that have differing AE_DATE for subjects be in different rows. I have tried to use proc transpose, however this is similar to doing something that is long to "half-wide". Additionally, I am unsure how to make AE_TYPE as a concatenated variable. 

 

Thank you in advance for any help you can provide!

How about

 

data have;
input ID AE_TYPE $ AE_DATE :mmddyy10. ;
format AE_DATE mmddyy10.;
cards;
1 A 08-05-2022
1 B .         
1 C 08-05-2022
1 D 08-05-2022
1 E 06-23-2022
2 A .         
2 B 05-07-2019
2 C 04-15-2020
2 D 05-07-2019

3 B .         
3 C 09-25-2018
3 D 11-09-2017
3 E .         
;

proc sort data = have;
   by ID AE_DATE AE_TYPE;
run;

proc transpose data = have(where = (AE_DATE)) out = temp(drop = _:) prefix = AE_TYPE;
   by ID AE_DATE;
   id AE_TYPE;
   var AE_TYPE;
run;

data want;
   set temp;
   length AE_TYPE $200;
   AE_TYPE = catx(' ', of AE_TYPE:);
run;
