Thanks Nick, you're correct I did misread that part.
Nevertheless, I suspect that some of the complexity you allude to your your prior reply to Michael E. is that he wishes to selectively carry forward certain field values. For example, something like: replace the missing value from (first visit at which it's available ) if that value is present in that patient's first visit I would know how to define the first visit a patient had, but not how to find the first visit at which a lab value appeared.

I think Michael M. is misreading this. It's a long to long mapping, so -reshape- does not spring to mind here. See my earlier suggestions.

This is possible with the -reshape- command. What you are starting
with is the "long" data format, and you can use that command to change
to "wide." However, there appear to be a few problems with your
description:
1. Did you mean patient ID=4, not =3, in the last line of the data
format you're seeking?
2. In the desired data format you list the "glu" data point for
subject ID=3 as being from a different date than the original 6/1/09.

I have a problem I hope you can help with that involves cleaning a
dataset for analysis.

I have a dataset with about 10K men.  Several men had multiple clinic
visits, so that there are about 12K observations.  There is also some
lab data that I'll need that was not obtained until follow up visits.

I would like to only analyze data from the earliest visit and the
first available lab data.

Can stata do this?
