Hello,

 

I'm trying to combine multiple datasets across several years (17/18, 18/19, etc) but first, I want to create a new variable with season, household id and participant number e.g. 171800101 such that the index case in the first household enrolled in 1718 season (other members would be 02, 03, 04, etc.) and household number would be three digits (001, 002, ...188, etc) and the seasons would be 4 digits (1718, 1819, 1920). The variables are not already in the dataset. How do I create them for each of the dataset and merge by this common new variable?
