I am using SAS 9.4

 

Hello all,

 

I have a data set that is similar to this:

 

ID Med Opioid NSAID Diuretic Steroids
1 A 1 0 0 0
1 B 1 0 0 0
1 C 0 1 0 0
1 D 0 0 1 0
1 E 0 0 0 1
2 D 0 0 1 0
2 C 0 1 0 0
3 A 1 0 0 0
3 I 0 1 0 0
3 J 0 0 0 1
3 D 0 0 1 0
4 A 1 0 0 0
4 B 1 0 0 0
4 N 0 0 1 0

 

and I would like to transform the data set into something that looks like this:

 

ID Opioid NSAID Diuretic Steroids
1 1 1 1 1
2 0 1 1 0
3 1 1 1 1
4 1 0 1 0

 

How would I go about doing this? 

Thank you in advance!

You can do it with proc sql.

proc sql;
create table want as
select  id, max(Opioid) as opioid, max(NSAID) as NSAID, max(Diuretic) as Diuretic, max(Steroids) as Steroids
from have
group by id;
quit;

It all depends on the type of your variables Opioid, NSAID, Diuretic and Steroids. Are they numeric or char?
