Hi Stata List subscriber ,
I have a dataset with multiple observations for many patients.
I have included two observations for the same patient that were formed when two data sets were appended.
*******************************************************************************************************************
Numericalvar1 Numericalvar2 StringVar3 Stringvar4 Stringvar5 Numericalvar6
observation 1 Patient 1 0 2 Male abdomen
Obervation 2 Patient 1 1 2 chest 3
******************************************************************************************************************
Observation 1 doesnt have any values for var5 and var6
Observation 2 has a different value for Var1, same value for var2 , no value for var3 and var 4
I need to combine the two observation so that I get a final observation as follows
*****************************************************************************************************************
Numericalvar1 Numericalvar2 StringVar3 Stringvar4 Stringvar5 Numericalvar6
observation Patient 1 1 2 Male abdomen chest 3
******************************************************************************************************************
Please advise .
Thanks you
Anwar
