Hello,
If I have a set that contains the following values:
letter
1. A
2. A
3. A
4. B
5. B
6. C
I can use .duplicates tag, g(freq) to generate a count of the duplicates:
letter freq
1. A 3
2. A 3
3. A 3
4. B 2
5. B 2
6. C 1
But I would also like to generate an order variable (e.g., " order") that
increases for each successive iteration of the variable. Such as:
letter freq order
1. A 3 1
2. A 3 2
3. A 3 3
4. B 2 1
5. B 2 2
6. C 1 1
Is there an easy way to do that?
Thanks,
Ben
