Not exactly: the final result should look like:
clear
input level q1 q2 q3
2 2.05 . .
2 3.01 . .
2 0.75 . .
3 . 1.99 .
3 . 1.86 .
3 . 0.44 .
4 . . 1.21
4 . . 4.22
4 . . 2.55
end

Is this what you want? If not, show us explicitly what the reshaped
data should look like.
clear

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
egen id = seq(), to(3)
reshape wide value level, i(id) j(question) string

Yes, of course:
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
So the questions should be transferred to new variable q1, q2 and so on,
keeping the value and level information tne these two variables.

Hello Stata user,
I have a dataset with 3 variables: "value" with numeric numbers, "level"
with numeric levels from 1 to 10 and "question" with the short text of
the
questions (q1, q2...). Now I want to bring all the questions in seperate
columns with the "value" they have in the variable "value" coressponding
to
the level. Using reshape I always get error messages in some way, so hope
there is an easy answer.
Best
Nick
