Hi,
I have a dataset with kids BMIs that looks like this:
MRN     VisitDate   BMI
123     10/20/04    30
123      6/11/05    25
123      4/14/06    25
222
222
222
Where MRN is the unique identifier. Kids had different visits at
different times and BMI were take at each time. How can I generate
a variable that codes for Visit 1,2,3,etc? So that I can measure
the change between baseline and last follow-up?
Thank you,
