I have a census population by counties and age categories in wide format as shown in the Image 2. Can you please help organize it to a narrow format in Image1?

 

I tried e.g.,: if agecat1 then agecat=1; else

                   if agecat2 then agecat=2; else ..

which creates only agecat=1.

Well, you have. Some original posters never mark an answer and the question stays open for ages. I would assume they want more responses, however if it's simple i seriously wonder why they lack the common sense to know that they are not gonna get any more. lol. Marking the answer is closing the thread.

 

I'm sure somebody may still come to this thread and offer like, "hey, here is an array solution. lol" that's like peanuts alongside my beer seeing such messages 🙂
