My proposal was intended to help you avoid -duplicates-, not for the rest of
your problem.
Anyway, the -collapse- solution is by far the most efficient one, so I
recommend you use it and forget about mine...

Betreff: Re: st: AW: tagging observations where either x or y are true
Thanks Martin, that tags some but not all the duplicates of sampleid.
I'm also seeking to condense the list from this:
sampleid x y
30.1 0 1
34.1 1 0
34.1 0 1
34.3 1 0
to this:
sampleid x y
30.1 0 1
34.1 1 1
34.3 1 0
where sampleid for which x = y ==1 are on one line.
Sorry this escapes me.
