Hello!   I have a problem that i think has a general solution. It is like this ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Problem basis:   dataset have observations with unknown number of variables all variables are of type text some of them are empty and which ones are varies from one observation to another   Task:   for all observations, ignore all empty variables and return only the value of first occurrence of variable with text per observation ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------   New to SAS, I can figure this out with number variables but ran into a dead-end with text-variables.  Anyone here that see an obvious solution? 🙂    Thanks ...
