Answer / sarath
We have two different type of TRANSPOSE: “UP” and “DOWN”:
“UP” transpose change rows of a dataset to columns, whereas
the “Down” transpose change columns to rows. We either
use "UP" or "DOWN" tranpose depending upon the requirement.
Whenver we use PROC TRANSPOSE we need to ask some questions
ourselves, since visualizing the PROC Transpose syntax is
not that easy:
To develop the PROC TRANSPOSE syntax we need to know the
answers to the above questions,
1) Which variable/variables need to get transposed?
A) Whatever the variable we mention in the ID statement.
2) What are the variables that need to stay same as in the
input dataset?
A) Variables that are included in the BY statement.
3) Which variables values need to become the values for the
transposed variable.
A) Variables that are included in the VAR statement.

To make this crosstabulation of time of day and choice of
radio programming, you must have a data set that contains a
variable for time of day and a variable for programming
preference. PROC TRANSPOSE reshapes the data into a new data
set that contains these variables
