| Date | Wed, 13 Nov 2013 19:54:31 +0100 (CET) |
Der Stata-list-users, I am working with a balanced panel dataset in long format (that also includes missing values). The dataset has more than 200 variables. Some of these variables vary over time, others do not. I want to reshape the dataset into a wide format without loosing any information. For this purpose I would like to create a local -NOTFIX- which should only contain all variable names of variables that are (within all observation units) constant over time. My ultimate aim is then to type: reshape wide `NOTFIX', i(unit_id) j(year) My question: Can anyone provide a suggestion on how to create NOTFIX? Many thanks!
