Dear All:
 

May data is as follows

Date                         ID                  Time
22OCT2018                A                   9:00
22OCT2018                A                   9:00
22OCT2018                A                   9:01
22OCT2018                A                   9:02
22OCT2018                B                   9:08
22OCT2018                B                   9:09
22OCT2018                B                   9:10
22OCT2018                B                   9:10

I want to construct a variable that groups the ID's by time

Date                         ID                  Time             Group
22OCT2018                A                   9:00               1
22OCT2018                A                   9:00               1
22OCT2018                A                   9:01               2
22OCT2018                A                   9:02               3
22OCT2018                B                   9:08               1
22OCT2018                B                   9:09               2
22OCT2018                B                   9:10               3
22OCT2018                B                   9:10               3

 

Please Help.

 

Thanx
