>>Dear Statalist,
>>
>>Thank you very much for all of your suggestions on my encode question, I
>>really appreciated your kind help - my variables have been back into
>>numerical thanks to you.
>>
>>I have another question and I was hoping you could help me on that too: I
>>would like to stack some variables in my dataset but at the same time keep
>>the rest of my variables - I am trying to code a loop for that but I can't
>>seem to get it right.
>>
>>I.e., currently, my dataset currently looks like the following (I have
>about
>>100 indices for 15 years and 200 countries):
>>
>>Indice Year CountryA CountryB CountryC
>>1 1995 .2 .a .1
>>1 1996 .36 .12 .45
>>2 1997 .15 .26 .45
>>2 1999 .22 .33 .11
>>3 1995 .a .22 .33
>>
>>My question is how could I stack my country variables under one column
>named
>>"Country" by indice and year, and also have another column that would
>>contain my values?
>>
>>so I would have the following:
>>
>>Indice Year Country Values
>>1 1995 countryA .2
>>' 1995 countryB .a
>>' ' countryC .1
>>' 1996 countryA
>>' countryB
>> countryC
>>2 1997 countryA .15
>>' 1997 countryB .26
>>'
>>3 1995 countryA .a
>> 1995 countryB .22
>> 1995 countryC .33
>>
>>Thank you very much in advance for any suggestion, I would immensely
>>appreciate your help again.
