dataset contains the followwing values:
tem1
year acct1 acct2 acct3

2001 $100.0 200 $300
2002 $400 500 $600


after transpose:

proc transpose data=tem1 out=tem ;
id year;

run;

2001 2002
acct1 100 400
acct2 200 500
acct3 300 600

what I am expecting after the transpose:


2001 2002
acct1 $100 $400
acct2 200 500
acct3 $300 $600

question:

how can i keep the original format of the data? such as the $100..

Hello Jdk 123,

It is impossible to have different formats for different observations for the same variable. So it is only possible to emulate this:
[pre]
data tem1;
input year acct1 $ acct2 $ acct3 $;
datalines;
2001 $100.0 200 $300
2002 $400 500 $600
run;
proc transpose data=tem1 out=tem ;
id year;
var acct1 acct2 acct3;
run;
[/pre]
Sincerely,

format _: dollar10. ;


[pre]
data temp;
input year (acct1 acct2 acct3 ) ( : dollar10.);
format acct: dollar10.;
datalines;
2001 $100.0 200 $300
2002 $400 500 $600
run;
proc transpose data=temp out=tem ;
id year;
run;
proc print noobs;run;
