Subject: st: Reshape question
Dear Statalist Users,
as a beginner, I am having some trouble importing large excel datatables
containing datastream output into stata long format. I checked with
faq/help files and think that the reshape command combined with some
data manipulations must be the answer. Right now I can get the data to
look like this in Stata:
|v1|v2|v3|v4|v5|...
|.|ID code1|ID code2|ID code3|ID code4|...
|date1| Xij|Xij|Xij|Xij|...
|date2| Xij|Xij|Xij|Xij|...
|...|...|...|...|...
where Xij = Data
However from my past Stata experiences the usual long form is much
better to work with:
|ID code1|date1|Xij|
|ID code1|date2|Xij|
|...|...|...|
|ID code2|date1|Xij|
|ID code2|date2|Xij|
|...|...|...|
I think reshape will solve this for me, but I couldn't get anything to
work...
Please offer advice, thank you.
