PROC TRANSPOSE <DATA=input-data-set> <LABEL=label> <LET> <NAME=name> <OUT=output-data-set> <PREFIX=prefix>; BY <DESCENDING> variable-1 <<DESCENDING> variable-n> <NOTSORTED>;
COPY variable(s); ID variable; IDLABEL variable; VAR variable(s);

Options DATA= input-data-set names the SAS data set to transpose. Default: most recently created SAS data set LABEL= label specifies a name for the variable in the output data set that contains the label of the variable that is being transposed to create the current observation. Default: _LABEL_ LET allows duplicate values of an ID variable. PROC TRANSPOSE transposes the observation containing the last occurrence of a particular ID value within the data set or BY group. NAME= name specifies the name for the variable in the output data set that contains the name of the variable being transposed to create the current observation. Default: _NAME_

Options - continued

OUT= output-data-set names the output data set. If output-data-set does not exist, PROC TRANSPOSE creates it using the DATAn naming convention. Note: If a BY group in the input data set has more observations Default: than DATA other n BY groups, PROC TRANSPOSE assigns missing values in the output data set to the variables that have no corresponding input observations. PREFIX= prefix specifies a prefix to use in constructing names for transposed variables in the output data set. For example, if PREFIX=VAR, the names of the variables are VAR1, VAR2, . . . ,VARn.

Interaction: when you use PREFIX= with an ID statement, the value prefixes to the ID value.

Proc Transpose A simple example

proc format; value mymths 1="JAN" 2="FEB" 3="MAR" 4="APR" 5="MAY" 6="JUN 7="JUL" 8="AUG" 9="SEP" 10="OCT" 11="NOV" 12="DEC"; run;

Proc Transpose Can create records for missing OBS BUT only inclusive of existing end points!

You can see we have created buckets for all the months of the year JAN thru DEC Now, lets do some simple math for percentages, ytd #s and ytd %s.
