Hi,

 

I think we can solve it by using Transpose, but it's kind of tricky. Now I have data like,

IDUnitClassTermClass_factorTerm_FactorTol
011Standard6mon111
012Supreme 6mon1.511.5
021Standard12mon122

 

The following is what I want,

VariableValue_01-1factor_01-1Value_01-2factor_01-2Value_02-1factor_02-1
ClassStandard1Supreme 1.5Standard1
Term6mon16mon112mon2
Tol 1 1.5 2

 

Many thanks!

 

I can now split it. But it get some difficulties to combine them.

data original;
	length key $25;
        set original;
	key = compress(ID||'-'||put(Unit,z2.),,'kadp');
run;

proc transpose data=original out=testc(rename=(_NAME_ = Variable)) preffix = Value_;
	id key;
	var _CHAR_;
run;

proc transpose data=original out=testn(rename=(_NAME_ = Variable)) preffix = Factor_;
	id key;
	var _NUMERIC_;
run;

please try

 

proc transpose data=original out=testc(where=(variable ne 'key') rename=(_NAME_ = Variable)) prefix = Value_;
	id key;
	var _CHAR_;
run;

proc transpose data=original out=testn(rename=(_NAME_ = Variable)) prefix = Factor_;
    id key;
	var _NUMERIC_;
run;

data want;
merge testc testn;
run;
Thanks,
Jag
