I have hundreds of value in the following format in one SAS dataset:
ID Chemical Value
AS4001X abc 1.4
AS4001X def 3.2
AS4001X ghi 3.4
BC4002Y abc 2.1
BC4002Y def 4.3
BC4002Y ghi 5.4
..................
and so on
I would like is to change each value of 'Chemical' into a variable so that I get the new dataset that look like this:
ID abc def ghi
AS4001X 1.4 3.2 3.4
BC4002Y 2.1 4.3 5.4
...........
Please suggest how do I go about about making such modification of dataset. I thank you all in advance.
