Hi,
I am new to stata and was trying to figure out the best way to solve the following question.
I have a dataset with id's of school children and their demographics at 5 time points.
The 1st timepoint has 800 id's, the second has 650,...the last one has 325 id's. Some id's are common to all timepoints.
How do I create a dataset which will have only those id's which are present at all time points? I have created a variable 'time' which corresponds to the # of id's at each point and I tried with breaking up the dataset into 5 datasets(one for each timepoint) and merging them using nokeep but that didn't work.
Thanks,
Debs
