What about this:

*-------------- begin example -----------
clear
input Id	week	class	 str1 treatment
1	0	2	a
1	8	3	a
1	12	3	a
2	0	3	b
2	8	3	b
2	12	4	b
3	0	3	a
3	8	3	a
3	12	2	a
end

reshape wide class , i(Id) j(week)
list, clean
tab treatment class12 if class0 == 3
*------------ end example --------------
(For more on how to use examples I sent to the 
Statalist, see :

Hope this helps,
Maarten
