I need some advice I need to transpose 2 variables from a long dataset to a wide dataset In the long dataset dad19sas.diagnosis the by variable dad_transaction_id repeats or there are
duplicates for every different value of the var variables Can i transpose both variables for a dad_transaction_id in a single proc transpose step
or do i do it in multiple steps. If in multiple steps then do I use the merge to combine in a single dataset I then wa
/**Do I transpose in 2 seperate steps or a sinle step**/
proc transpose data = dad19sas.diagnosis out = diagcode
prefix = DIAG_CODE_ ;
var diag_icd10_code ;
by dad_transaction_id;
run;
proc transpose data = dad19sas.diagnosis out = diagtype
prefix = DIAG_type_code ;
var diag_type_code ;
by dad_transaction_id;
run;
/**Merge datasets by dad_transaction_id?**/
data diagcode;set diagcode; drop _NAME_ _LABEL_;run;
data diagcode;
set diagcode;
array diag{*} DIAG_CODE_: ;
array diag_type{*} DIAG_TYPE_CODE_:
do i = 1 to dim(diag);
if diag{i} in: ('Z37') then DIAG_HD = 1;
end;
do i = 1 to dim(diag_type);
if diag_type{i} in: ('M' or '3') then DIAG_HD_type = 1;
end;
/** Keep records with selected diagnosis above and where the type is M or 3 in any of the array elements*/
*if DIAG_HD = 1 ;
run;
nt to use the array statement on the transposed dataset to keep records
where diag_type_code =M or 3 and Please advise how I can perform the above
Can you please post some sample data?

Showing both starting data and desired result for the starting data.
Instructions here: https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Communities-Library/How-to-create-a-data-step-version-of-your-dat... will show how to turn an existing SAS data set into data step code that can be pasted into a forum code box using the </> icon or attached as text to show exactly what you have and that we can test code against.
It's finally time to hack! Remember to visit the SAS Hacker's Hub regularly for news and updates.
Learn how use the CAT functions in SAS to join values from multiple variables into a single value.
