Hi,
I have episode file of time use showing population's activity code and
duration. In this data, an activity longer than 30 mins (e.g. sleep)
has multiple episodes, that creates unrealistically larger number of
activities in one day. I want to keep one record per activity if the
code is repeated in next row and generate combine duration for that
activity. for example, code '11' has been repeated in three
episodes/rows, but it should be in one row with duration=90, how can i
do that!
