get day name in a transposed table

[Nasser_DRMCP]

hello,

what I would like to obtain in this want table is the day name as first row.

that is to say, datas of first row should be : friday, saturday, Sunday, monday…(vendredi, samedi, dimanche ...should be better)

and second row should be 03/09/2021....

by doing that, it will be easier to read when the table is exported into excel

thanks

nass

Little confused as to the exact output that you want. Notice that I created a new variable containing the name of the day of the week in your 'have' data set.

Data have ;
input ladate result employee $ ;
day_name = trim(left(put(ladate, downame.)));
informat ladate ddmmyy10. ;
format ladate ddmmyy10. ;

What looks a little cleaner:

...like this?

data next;
  set have;
  length weekday $9;
  select (weekday(ladate));
    when(1)weekday='Sunday';
    when(2)weekday='Monday';
    when(3)weekday='Tuesday';
    when(4)weekday='Wednesday';
    when(5)weekday='Thursday';
    when(6)weekday='Friday';
    when(7)weekday='Saturday';
    otherwise;
  end;
run;

proc transpose data=next out=want (drop=_name_);
  by employee ;
  id ladate ;
  var weekday ladate result;
run ;

Hello kawakami

many thanks for your respons il works well

I just notice that when I have several employees (there, robert and Alice).then I get many rows with weekday

if I could get only one it could be great ! thanks

I can't think of a smart way to do that.

proc transpose data=next out=next1(where=(_name_ ='result'));
  by employee ;
  id ladate ;
  var result weekday ladate ;
run ;
proc transpose data=next out=next2(where=(_name_^='result'));
  by employee ;
  id ladate ;
  var result weekday ladate ;
run ;
proc sort data=next2 nodupkey;
  by _name_;
run;
data next2;
  set next2;
  by _name_;
  employee='';
  if first._name_;
run;
data want;
  set next2 next1;
  drop _name_;
run;

Provide an example of what your output should look like as well. Perhaps using a somewhat smaller input set will make that easier.
