How do I creatae a new sas dataset from one like the following:
HAVE:
x1 | x2 | x3 | y1 | y2 | y3 | y4 |
a | b | c | 33.7 | 29.2 | 34.4 | 31.4 |
WANT:
x1 | x2 | x3 | y |
a | b | c | 33.7 |
a | b | c | 29.2 |
a | b | c | 34.4 |
a | b | c | 31.4 |
data have;
input x1 $ x2 $ x3 $ y1 y2 y3 y4;
cards;
a b c 33.7 29.2 34.4 31.4
run;
data want;
set have;
array _y[*] _numeric_;
do _n_= 1 to dim(_y);
y=_y[_n_]; output;
end;
drop y1 - y4;
run;
data have;
input (x1 x2 x3) ($) y1 y2 y3 y4;
cards;
a b c 33.7 29.2 34.4 31.4
;
proc transpose data=have out=want(drop=_name_ rename=col1=y);
by x1-x3;
var y1-y4;
run;
data have;
input x1 $ x2 $ x3 $ y1 y2 y3 y4;
cards;
a b c 33.7 29.2 34.4 31.4
run;
data want;
set have;
array _y[*] _numeric_;
do _n_= 1 to dim(_y);
y=_y[_n_]; output;
end;
drop y1 - y4;
run;
Good news: We've extended SAS Hackathon registration until Sept. 12, so you still have time to be part of our biggest event yet – our five-year anniversary!
Learn how use the CAT functions in SAS to join values from multiple variables into a single value.
