Hi Community

 

I have the following dataset:

 

ID year event 

1  2014  0

1  2015  0

1  2016  1

2  2014  0

2  2015  1

2  2016  1

3  2014  1

3  2015  1

3  2016  1

 

I need to create an indicator that shows me the year the event happend, even for the years that the event was 0, as follows:

 

ID year event  year_event 

1  2014  0        2016

1  2015  0        2016

1  2016  1        2016

2  2014  0        2015

2  2015  1        2015

2  2016  1        2015

3  2014  1        2014

3  2015  1        2014

3  2016  1        2014

 

Any help is highly appreciated. Sorry if it is too simple.

 

Thanks!
