fill the blank lines with values from a column

[sahoositaram555]

Hi all,

i have a data set with 100 obs like below.

ORGAN	CELLTYPE	COUNT_PERCENT
Liver	Livercell1	12(12.22%)
Liver	Livercell2	23(23.22%)
Liver	Livercell3	32(23.11%))
Kidney	Nkcell1	45(23.21%)
Kidney	Nkcell2	34(48.34%)
Kidney	Nkcell3	34(48.22%)
Heart	Myocardialcell1	34.22(11%)
Heart	Myocardialcell2	22.22(56.22%)
Heart	Myocardialcell3	23.22(12.33%)

I want to produce an output something like 

Category	COUNT_PERCENT
Liver
Livercell1	12(12.22%)
Livercell2	23(23.22%)
Livercell3	32(23.11%))
Kidney
Nkcell1	45(23.21%)
Nkcell2	34(48.34%)
Nkcell3	34(48.22%)
Heart
Myocardialcell1	34.22(11%)
Myocardialcell2	22.22(56.22%)
Myocardialcell3	23.22(12.33%)

kindly suggest some ideas? i have found a way by giving orders to the extracted unique values of organ column and by using a set command placed one dataset above another and did a sorting. but the process is lengthy. is there a way in macro to go ahead in solving this problem?

Hi,

You can also try the following SAS code:

proc sort data=your-table-name out=input_tab presorted;
    by organ;
run;

data output_tab (keep=category count_percent);
    set input_tab (rename=(count_percent=count_temp));
    by organ;
    if first.organ then do;
        category=organ;
        count_percent='';
        output;
    end;
    category=celltype;
    count_percent=count_temp;
    output;
run;

Help that it'll work.

Regards,
