The first table does not wrap well, so it is hard to tell what the -varname-s really are. It looks as if the columns contain both strings, to hold the site and county names, and numeric data, correct?

Betreff: st: Reshaping a Dataset

I've been working on this for a while now, but obviously I do not yet understand what -reshape- needs to do its work.

Here is some data from the dataset:

site	  Crouse   Garinger   Arrowood   County Line   Rockwell   Enochville   Monroe
county	  Lincoln  Burton     Burton     Burton        Chance     Chance       Union
date							
20050701	    0.082	           0.083                    0.08	
20050709            0.076      0.076	
20050720            0.084                               0.079			
20050721                       0.08        0.085			
20050722						0.078	
20050724						0.08	
20050725  0.101     0.081      0.095       0.078        0.087       0.079

I want to reshape the dataset to look like:

date      county     site           conc
20050701  Lincoln    Crouse           .
20050701  Burton     Garinger       0.082
20050701  Burton     Arrowood         .
20050701  Burton     County Line    0.083
20050701  Chance     Rockwell         .
20050701  Chance     Enochville      0.08
20050701  Union      Monroe           .
etc.  etc.

Can anyone assist me with this? Thanks much.
