I probably do not understand what you want to do because this still
looks suspiciously like a -reshape- problem to me. Maybe you can post
say the first ten lines of your dataset (only with the relevant
variables) or a fictional dataset with the same structure as yours. In
particular, the two versions of it: the one as it is and the one as
you want it to be.
