Hi Kristen,

I think that you need to use 

reshape long

here.

Subject: st: rearranging cross-section to longitudinal cross-section

Hi All,

I have a data set that's arranged as:

       year1  year2 year3...
case1
case2
case3...

and I'd like to rearrange it to look like:

case1 year1
case1 year2
case1 year3
case2 year1...

Is there a way to automatically do this in Stata? (I'm on version 10)

Thanks,
Kristen
