Data Have illustrate a case where a patients receive a specific service in specific periods before death - which is at day 0. I would like to transpose this file and make it like Data Want where there is one row per day per ID and a dummy variable taking the value of 1 if the service is received, 0 if not. In total, the period covered in this example is 14 days (incl. day 0).

 

Data Have:

Obs ID Startday Endday
1 1 -2 0
2 1 -8 -6
3 1 -11 -10
4 2 -5 -3
5 2 -8 -7

 

Data Want

Obs ID Day Dummy
1 1 0 1
2 1 -1 1
3 1 -2 1
4 1 -3 0
5 1 -4 0
6 1 -5 0
7 1 -6 1
8 1 -7 1
9 1 -8 1
10 1 -9 0
11 1 -10 1
12 1 -11 1
13 1 -12 0
14 1 -13 0
15 2 0 0
16 2 -1 0
17 2 -2 0
18 2 -3 1
19 2 -4 1
20 2 -5 1
21 2 -6 1
22 2 -7 0
23 2 -8 1
24 2 -9 0
25 2 -10 0
26 2 -11 0
27 2 -12 0
28 2 -13 0
