*Subject:* Creating single values from a nested data file
Dear Listers,
I am new to Stata and have the following question.
I have education survey data where the data are ordered by school and
student and more pertinently the variable “school.” The data are ordered
by the variable “school” and would give 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 etc. I have
created appropriate school-level variables but the problem is that the
values of the school-level variables are repeated for the same school,
whereas I want only one record per school for some of the school-level
variables. I tried various merging file schemes but none work. Any help
is highly appreciated
Thanks
Russell
