Hello all, 

 

I'm hoping you can help me with some code to change observations to variables, I have data with a structure like so: 

 

ID     Date   UniqueVal

1        D1         111

1        D2         222

1        D3         333

2        D1         111

2        D2         222

2        D3         333

3        D1         111

3        D2         222

3        D3         333

 

 

I want: 

 

ID     D1                 D2                  D3

1     111                 222                 333

2     111                 222                 333

3     111                 222                 333

 

 

 

Hopefully that makes sense. Anyway, thank you in advance for your guidance.

I have messed with it yes, but I couldn't produce the results I needed. Could you provide example code? Thank you!
