The challenge here is managing the sort of the dataset so that it matches your outcome data. Here's one way to do it:
******************!
clear
inp str9 Date str1 id str4(clinic activity)
"01.01.01" 1 RC A
"01.01.01" 1 RC B
"01.01.01" 1 RC D
"02.01.01" 1 RC A
"02.01.01" 1 RC C
"02.01.01" 1 RC E
"02.01.01" 1 RC F
"01.01.01" 2 MR A
"01.01.01" 2 MR C
"01.01.01" 2 MR D
"01.01.01" 2 MR F
end
g sort = _n
egen g = group(Date clinic id)
bys g (sort): g i = string(_n)
drop sort g
reshape wide activity, ///
i(Date id clinic) j(i) string
rename activity1 AorBorC1
rename activity2 AorBorC2
rename activity3 AcorBorC3
rename activity4 DorEorF1
list
