Dear all,
I have a variable, which can have up to 5 observations. The observations may
be any integer from 1 to 5. Each number may be there only once but I could
have less than 5 observations in total.
I am trying to find a way of going through the list, identifying which
numbers are missing and appending these numbers to the dataset. Does anyone
have a relatively simple way of doing it?
an example would be as follows:
HACODE
1
3
5
and the end result would be
HACODE
1
3
5
2
4
many thanks
Gianfranco
