It does not, at least not for me. Maybe I am overlooking something very
obvious, but I am more confused than before. How do you go from the top
example to the bottom one?

Let's say for respondents 1 and 2 the answers are as follows:
RESP.1 RESP.2
Q1 3 2
Q2 2 5
Q3 4 5
Q4 1 3
Q5 4 4
Q6 3 2
Q7 4 4
Q8 2 3
Q9 4 4
Q10 3 4
Q11 4 4
Q12 4 5
Q13 5 4
Q14 4 1
I want to recode it as follows:
RESP.1 RESP.2
Q1 4 2
Q2 2 12
Q3 7 12
Q4 1 4
Q5 7 6
Q6 4 2
Q7 7 6
Q8 2 4
Q9 7 6
Q10 4 6
Q11 7 6
Q12 7 12
Q13 14 6
Q14 7 1
I hope that this clarifies my problem.
My thanks,

Forget about your spreadsheet thing and stick to Stata, first of all.
Secondly, give an excerpt from your data, as your request sounds easily
doable...

Betreff: st: Rank transformation
I have a dataset where X respondents have replied to 10 questions. Answers
are on a Likert scale. I want to transform the data where the highest
scoring question is ranked 1st and the lowest 10th. Is there a simple way
that I can do that automatically in Stata or should I recode everything in
Excel?
Thanks in advance for all assistance.
