| Subject | st: reshape command error |
| Date | Tue, 16 Nov 2010 14:44:39 -0600 |
Hello Stata users: I'm not very experienced in STATA; trying to learn it. I cannot see the problem with my reshape command. I have a dataset with multiple rows per id. Each client has unique problem types (this is a social services dataset). I want to reshape the dataset into one row per client. My data looks like this: Id probnum obs 1 1 1 1 12 2 1 14 3 1 39 4 1 40 5 1 49 6 My code is this: reshape wide probnum, i(fid) j(obs) I keep getting the error message: problem not constant within id. What am I missing?! Many thanks, Tehout * * For searches and help try: * http://www.stata.com/help.cgi?search * http://www.stata.com/support/statalist/faq * http://www.ats.ucla.edu/stat/stata/
