I have a longitudinal file on which I just completed multiple imputation. It has been reshaped to long format. I need to cycle through each case and drop all instances for which someone was missing in a round and was never interviewed again up to the most recent survey round. Is there a quick and easy way to do this?

For a case like this:

id     interviewed?     ...      ...

1           y
1           n
1           y
1           y
1           y
1           n
1           n
1           n
1           n

I would like to drop all information from round six on.

The purpose is to drop the fully attrited cases, then reshape wide, then back to long. Then I can calculate IPTW weights.

Thanks,
Diego Torres
