An example of my data currently looks like this. A person can have an unspecified number of locations, as 1002 has 6 locations, 1004 has 4 locations, and 1005 has 2 locations. Others not shown here have even more than 6 locations.

How would I convert the data to look this below? I want each person to only have one row and fill in a column for location 1 to location 2 to 3 to 4 to 5 to 6 to 7, etc..

1002abcdef
1004abcd
1005ab

Thanks!
