Your title says "reshape wide" but you say you want to "reshape from
wide to long". Stata means "reshape to wide" when it says "reshape
wide" and similarly for "long".
In your case, the example data appear to be already in long form with
identifier repeated for each observation. For most panel or
longitudinal tasks, this is what you need, so if I understand you
correctly, there is no problem to be fixed.

The variable of interest is a measure that can be repeated multiple times with the same measurement (example provided in table below), thus, I received an error message saying that values of the variable are not unique within the studyid. Is there anything that can be done about this?
