Hi there:
i have this data
data have;
lenght animals$ 50;
input location animals$;
cards;
1 dog, cat, bird
2 cat
3 bird, dog

;
with this information, I need to keep the same column, but increase columns for each animal observed in the animal column:
LOCATION | ANIMALS | DOG | CAT | BIRD | HAMSTER |
1 | dog, cat, bird | 1 | 1 | 1 | 0 |
2 | cat | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 |
3 | bird, dog | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 |
4 | hamster | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 |
Where 1means YES and 0 meams NO.
Im putting this as an example, just knowing that could be more kind of animals in other more locations
Thank you in advance
