Subject | st: reshape wide to long |
Date | Thu, 10 Apr 2014 18:32:01 -0700 |
Hello, I am trying to reshape the following dataset from wide to long: id kcalpre kcalpost 1 5620 3910 2 5470 4220 3 5640 3885 with the command: . reshape long kcal, i(id) j(timing) I am receiving an error message: variable timing contains all missing values. I have specified: - long is the type of reshaping - kcal is the stem of the two variables I want to convert from wide to long: kcalpre and kcalpost - i(id) uniquely identifies each variable in the wide format - j(timing) is to specify that the suffix of kcal (pre and post) should be placed in the variable called -timing- It seems I've followed the help file and tutorials. I'd appreciate any advice or corrections.
