重新排列SAS中的数据集

Question

I am new to SAS and am trying to rearrange a dataset. I feel that it shouldn't be too hard but I've been struggling with it for quite some time now. Here is what my dataset looks like

Factor Variable Value
A      X        1
A      Y        2
B      X        3
B      Y        4

and I want my resulting dataset to be

Variable   A   B
X          1   3
Y          2   4

Is this possible? Thank you for your help.

Answer 1

You want values of variable Value (VAR) to be transposed to columns that will be named by values of Factor (ID) for each value of Variable (BY) , while not keeping the name of Value in an output field _NAME_ (drop=_NAME_ ). I do admit I always need to play with it to get what I need.

data in;
length Factor Variable $1 Value 8;
input Factor Variable Value;
cards;
A      X        1
A      Y        2
B      X        3
B      Y        4
;
run;

proc sort data=in;
BY Variable;
run;

proc transpose data=in out=transp (drop=_NAME_);
ID Factor;
BY Variable;
VAR value;
run;

proc print noobs;run;
