Hi,
How can I fill in the cohort number for the same record ID but at different time points? Please see
What the dataset looks like:
| Record ID | Timepoint | Cohort # |
| 1 | scr | 1 |
| 1 | bl | . |
| 1 | w8 | . |
| 1 | m6 | . |
| 1 | m12 | . |
| 2 | scr | 1 |
| 2 | bl | . |
| 2 | w8 | . |
| 3 | scr | 2 |
| 3 | bl | . |
| 3 | w8 | . |
What I want:
| Record ID | Timepoint | Cohort # |
| 1 | scr | 1 |
| 1 | bl | 1 |
| 1 | w8 | 1 |
| 1 | m6 | 1 |
| 1 | m12 | 1 |
| 2 | scr | 1 |
| 2 | bl | 1 |
| 2 | w8 | 1 |
| 3 | scr | 2 |
| 3 | bl | 2 |
| 3 | w8 | 2 |
Thank you!
