keeping the main view of data

[kindbe17]

Masters, please help me keeping this view i show below

STATISTIC	1987 Salary	Hits in 1986
N	XX	XX
Mean (Std)	XX.X (XX.XX)	XX.X (XX.XX)
Median	XX.X	XX.X
Min, Max	XX, XX	XX, XX

when i merge 2 datasets together i see that the priority of Statistics has been mixed like this

We would need to see the code you are using.

Here you go

%macro cplayers(DS=,var1=,var2=);
proc freq data=&DS.;
tables &var1.*&var2.;
run;
%mend cplayers;

%cplayers(DS=players,var1=div,var2=team);
%cplayers(DS=players,var1=league,var2=position);
Run;

%macro baseplay(Datab=,var1=,var2=);
proc means data=&Datab.;
Var &var1. &var2.;
output out=baseplay_1 N=N1 Mean=Mean1 Std=Std1 Median=Median1 Min=Min1 Max=Max1;
run;
%mend baseplay;
%baseplay(Datab=players,var1=salary,var2=nhits);
;
run;

data newdat;
set Baseplay_1;
N=strip(put(N1,20.1));
MeanSTD=strip(put(Mean1,20.1)) || '(' || strip(put(Std1,20.1))|| ')';
Median=strip(put(Median1,20.1));
MinMax=strip(put(Min1,20.1))|| ',' || strip(put(Max1,20.1));
run;

proc transpose data = newdat out=newdat1;
Var N MeanSTD Median MinMax;
run;

%let n= 1987 Salary;
data newone (rename =(_Name_=Statistic Col1="&n"n));
set newdat1;
run;

%let m= Hits in 1986;
data newone1(rename=(_Name_=Statistic Col1="&m"n));
set newdat1;
run;

proc sort data=newone;
by Statistic;
run;

proc sort data=newone1;
by descending Statistic;
run;

data double;
merge newone newone1;
;
run;

Add a sequence variable to newone and newone1 and then after the merge you have DATA DOUBLE, sort that by the sequence number.
