Good afternoon,

 

I have two datasets I am merging together, one has observations for each participant (age and gender), the other dataset has only a date for each observation:

 

Obs patient age sex
1     1          23     M
2     2          43     F
3     3          62     F
4     4          41     M
5     5          42     M

 

Obs date
1     21380 
2     21387 
3     21394 

 

 

I'm trying to get each patient to have a row per date:

 

Obs patient age sex   date

1     1          23     M   21380 

1     1          23     M   21387 

1     1          23     M   21394 
2     2          43     F   21380 

2     2          43     F   21387 

2     2          43     F   21394 
3     3          62     F   21380 

3     3          62     F   21387 

3     3          62     F   21394 
4     4          41     M   21380 

4     4          41     M   21387 

4     4          41     M   21394 
5     5          42     M   21380 

5     5          42     M   21387 

5     5          42     M   21394 

 

 

Thank you for your help!
