I have used proc rank 'group=5'. Based on the 'varrank', how do i sort the data such that each table lists 'CY' variables under each rank per dsname grouping?

i.e. i have data from work.yr16 to yr20.

 

Thank you for the assistance!

I'm not sure how to convert the data into datalines. i have a few hundred datalines.

My third footnote links to a macro that converts datasets to data step code.

 

A simple data step for your dataset will look like this:

data mktcap6yrs;
length
  reits $8
  cy 8
  dsname $41
  me_group 8
;
input
  reits
  cy
  dsname
  me_group
;
datalines;
AAREIT 834849900 WORK.YR16 1
;

Add additional datalines as needed to illustrate your task.
