Hi all, I'm using Stata 11.2, and am having a little trouble with -reshape-. I have a dataset with data as such: year age Males age mmx mqx mlx mdx mex Females fmx fqx flx fdx fex 1982 0.00 Males 0.00 0.01 0.01 100000.00 1281.70 70.81 Females 0.01 0.01 100000.00 994. 76.80 I want to set the data up so that I have: Year Sex age mx qx lx dx ex 1982 Males 0 0.01 0.01 100000.00 1281.70 70.81 1982 Females0 0.01 0.01 100000.00 994.0 76.80 I've been trawling a few bits of code that I have used in the past and not finding a solution: g id=_n reshape long m f, i(id age year) string But this gives this output: id age year _j m f 1 0 1982 dx 1281.7 994.7 1 0 1982 ex 70.81 76.8 1 0 1982 lx 100000 100000 1 0 1982 mx .0129 .009997 1 0 1982 qx .012817 .009947 I'm sure I probably need another -reshape- around _j Best wishes Tim _DISCLAIMER: This email and any attachments hereto contains proprietary information, some or all of which may be confidential or legally privileged.
