Reformat a time-series table

[danielli]

Dear all,

I have a table like this:

Fund	ID	Jan 2001	Feb 2001	Mar 2001
Fund 1	1	1.0	2.0	3.0
Fund 2	2	1.1	2.1	3.1
Fund 3	3	0.1	0.3

And would like to format it, so it looks like this:

Fund	ID	Date	Returns
Fund1	1	Jan 2001	1.0
Fund1	1	Feb 2001	2.0
Fund1	1	Mar 2001	3.0
Fund2	2	Jan 2001	1.1
Fund2	2	Feb 2001	2.1
Fund2	2	Mar 2001	3.1
Fund3	3	Jan 2001	0.1
Fund3	3	Feb 2001	0.3

Of course, I have close to 10,000 funds and the return date (months) are in hundreds.

Any thoughts are greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Daniel

Take a look at proc transpose.

Not sure if this is what you need:

proc transpose data=have out=want;

by fund id;

run;
