Re: st: adding rows?
Title: Re: st: adding rows?
I don’t know about how to do this in Stata, but you could use Excel to replace the nominal variables with a number code, and then paste the data into Stata. This way you should not loose the string data when you use the xpose function. Alternatively, you could do the whole thing in Excel (but depending on the size of your dataset, it may not be able to do the copy, paste special “values”).

Hi all,
I’ve got a dataset where some subjects have multiple episodes of one disease. Within each time period, there are multiple nominal (categorical) variables defining characteristics of the disease, listed in rows per record.
Is there a way I can re-organize these categorical variables from columns to rows instead?
