Hi,

I am trying to create a study day variable for patients that have multiple encounters per day.

For example:

ID    Date        Study Day (want to create this)

12   6/20/14      1

12   6/20/14      1

12   6/20/14      1

12   6/20/14      1

12   6/22/14      2

12   6/26/14      3

13   6/20/14      1

Any thoughts?

Thanks!
