How can I rearrange this table using SAS or MS-Access? -


i have dataset on microsoft access , sas of million option prices arranged following fields/columns:

date, company, put/call, price

the put/call variable indicator variable comes out either put or call each unique date-company combination.

example numbers:

date             company          put/call       price 2001/01/01       xom              put            10 2001/01/01       xom              call           12 2001/01/01       abb              put            11 2001/01/01       abb              call           13 

what need table arranged with:

date, company, put price, call price

the above example numbers, output should be:

example numbers:

date             company          put price      call price 2001/01/01       xom              10             12 2001/01/01       abb              11             13 

would know how use sas, microsoft access or other software complete this?

the following works in access:

select      [date],      [company],      max(iif([put/call]="put", [price], null)) [put price],      max(iif([put/call]="call", [price], null)) [call price]  [prices]  group [date], [company]; 

note that...

  • several of column names have spaces or "funny characters" in them, and

  • date reserved word in access,

...so square brackets [] important.
