Same as Xia:

data have;

input id $ spend;

cards;

1 100

1 200

1 300

2 150

2 690

;

data want(drop=count spend);

set have ;

by id;

array mon(3) jan feb march;

retain mon;

if first.id then do;

call missing(of mon{*});

       count=0;

            end;

           count+1;

mon(count)= spend;

if last.id then output;

run;

Thanks,
