I've a variable called 'num' and it has some unique values. Now I want to repeat values in the same variable based on the value. If it is 2, then I want the value 2 to be displayed 2 times. If it is 3, then I want the value 3 to be displayed 3 times in the same variable.
E.g.
Input Dataset:
Num
1
2
3
Desired dataset:
Num
1
2
2
3
3
3
Do this
data have;
input Num;
datalines;
1
2
3
;
data want;
set have;
do _N_ = 1 to Num;
output;
end;
run;
