Have two data sets with common variable. The teacher data set has several
teachers per school. The school variable is a nominal variable that is
unique to each school. So if there are 20 teachers in a school the school
variable is repeated 20 times. The principal data file has one principal per
school and I want to merge/match on school. There is one principal to each
school and this file uses the same school variable to identify the school
the principal is in. What I need to do is to match the principal data to
every teacher in that school.
So the file would look like:
School teacher_var1 teacher_var2 principal_var1
123 23 45 56
123 25 44 56
123 21 43 56
123 56 55 56
331 21 22 51
331 21 29 51
331 26 21 51
