Hello!

 

Can someone guide me how to count unique values across rows by a certain variable? Below is my dataset:

 

id     med    class

1      A         1

1      B         1

1      C         2

1      D         4

2      S         3

2      A         1

3      A         1

 

This is what I would like

id    count_med    count_class

1     4                    3

2     2                    2

3     1                    1

 

 

Thank you!
