A -collapse- gets you a table with the same dimensions and values.

. collapse marks, by(d_r timeline)

. tabdisp d_r timeline, c(marks)

--------------------------------------------------
          |                timeline
      d_r |       -1         0         1         2
----------+---------------------------------------
       80 |           29.47333    43.795     91.63
      100 |   23.165     13.76  32.40667
      145 | 26.40333     63.92                13.9
--------------------------------------------------

Is that what you want?
