My problem is that the first row is -regionid- -2000- -2001- ... The years are not preceded by letters such as -var- in your example. That's what got me stuck. There are several files of this kind, each of which has to be converted into a long variable Eric Assuming say -regionid- -var1980- ... -var2009- this is reshape long var , i(regionid) j(year) This is one of the basic kinds of -reshape- in the help. What explanation did you miss? Nick n.j.cox@durham.ac.uk DE SOUZA Eric I have a table in Excel (which, of course, I can convert to csv format and -insheet- into Stata). The table contains one variable. Each row corresponds to a region and each column to a year. Is there a way of converting the data into panel (long) format in Stata ? I've hunted around and experimented but without success. * * For searches and help try: * http://www.stata.com/help.cgi?search * http://www.stata.com/support/statalist/faq * http://www.ats.ucla.edu/stat/stata/ * * For searches and help try: * http://www.stata.com/help.cgi?search * http://www.stata.com/support/statalist/faq * http://www.ats.ucla.edu/stat/stata/
