Abstract

So many times we need to take our data and turn it around. One of the reasons that this is done is that it is more efficient to store your data in a vertical format and processing the data is easier in a horizontal format. That means that we need to change the format of the data before we process or analyze it. There are many ways to accomplish this in a DATA step. Another way to change the data is to use a PROC TRANSPOSE. This paper will show you, step by step, how to change the format of the data. You will be taken from the easiest way of doing without any options to a more complex manner using a whole host of options.
