Hello ,

 

I am trying to create one variable (type2) from multiple rows per ID using variable type. I want to covert a table like this one:

ID

type

1

A

1

A

1

B

2

A

2

A

3

B

3

B

3

B

 

To:

ID

type2

1

C

2

A

3

B

 

Where type2 is:  

If type is always A then type2=A;

If type is always B then type2=B;

If type is a combination of A and B then type2=C;

 

Thanks
