I thought I gave you what you asked for. Your latest request can be achieved by
clear
input value level str3 question
2.05 2 q1
3.01 2 q1
0.75 2 q1
1.99 3 q2
1.86 3 q2
0.44 3 q2
1.21 4 q3
4.22 4 q3
2.55 4 q3
end
drop question
egen q = seq(), to(3)
reshape wide value, i(level) j(q)
renpfix value q
-- but your new names -q1 q2 q3- don't map on to the old.
