I have the following dataset 

 

IDGroupAgeGender
1161Female
1261Female
2262Male
3164Female
4166Male
4266Male
5264Male
6167Female
6267Female

 

What I would like to do is that if same ID has 'Group = 1 and Group = 2" then I want to create a new variable for ID: final_group = Group 1 if Group = 1; final_group = 'Group 2 Indirect';

if only one record then use same final_group = Group

 

Something like this:

IDGroupFinal_phaseAgeGender
11Group 161Female
12Group 2 Indirect61Female
22Group 2 Direct62Male
31Group 164Female
41Group 166Male
42Group 2 Indirect66Male
52Group 2 Direct64Male
61Group 167Female
62Group 2 Indirect67Female

 

I tried to do max per patient and create additional datasets but was wondering if there is an easy way
