Hi all, 

I am looking to create a new count variable in the data set using ID and Date variables. Basically I want to count same ID with same Dates as 1 and same IDs with different Date as 2, 3 , etc. based on number of different dates each ID has. I would really appreciate your help! 

 

Thank you so much in advance!

 

Here is what I want for the count variable:

ID     Date                        Count

1      3/2/2020                     1

1      3/2/2020                     1

1      3/2/2020                     1

2      3/3/2020                     1

2      3/4/2020                     2

2      3/5/2020                     3

3     3/2/2020                      1

4     3/3/2020                     1

4     3/3/2020                     1

4     3/4/2020                     2
