Hi,
I have a large dataset that needs formatting before I can use it. The trouble is I have tried reshaping but the data does not make sense afterwards nor is the help option useful.
I have 4 variables. They are: id, capt, question, answer.
How can I format it in a way so that the data makes sense and what does the syntax look like?
Many thanks
