  • Reshaping data from organisation year to country year

    Hello everyone,

    I have been struggling with converting my data from one format to another and I was hoping someone here would be able to at least hint at a solution. I have tried the reshape command (to no avail) but I really don't think that it is very useful here.

    I have data that records yearly country membership in an international institution in the following format:

    Code:
    * Example generated by -dataex-. For more info, type help dataex
    clear
    
    input int year float ioid str11 ioname float(Afghanistan Albania Algeria Angola)
    2014  24 "AU"      0 0 1 1
    2015  24 "AU"      0 0 1 1
    2016  24 "AU"      0 0 1 1
    2017  24 "AU"      0 0 1 1
    2014  26 "Andean"  0 0 0 0
    2015  26 "Andean"  0 0 0 0
    2016  26 "Andean"  0 0 0 0
    2017  26 "Andean"  0 0 0 0
    2014  17 "AMU"     0 0 1 0
    2015  17 "AMU"     0 0 1 0
    2016  17 "AMU"     0 0 1 0
    2017  17 "AMU"     0 0 1 0
    2014   2 "AALCO"   0 0 0 0
    2015   2 "AALCO"   0 0 0 0
    2016   2 "AALCO"   0 0 0 0
    2017   2 "AALCO"   0 0 0 0
    2014  23 "ASEAN"   0 0 0 0
    2015  23 "ASEAN"   0 0 0 0
    2016  23 "ASEAN"   0 0 0 0
    2017  23 "ASEAN"   0 0 0 0
    end
    But I need it converted to the following format:


    Code:
    * Example generated by -dataex-. For more info, type help dataex
    clear
    input float(ID year) str11 Country float(AU Andean AMU AALCO ASEAN)
    1 2014 "Afghanistan" 0 0 0 0 0
    1 2015 "Afghanistan" 0 0 0 0 0
    1 2016 "Afghanistan" 0 0 0 0 0
    1 2017 "Afghanistan" 0 0 0 0 0
    2 2014 "Albania"     0 0 0 0 0
    2 2015 "Albania"     0 0 0 0 0
    2 2016 "Albania"     0 0 0 0 0
    2 2017 "Albania"     0 0 0 0 0

    4 2014 "Angola"      1 0 0 0 0
    4 2015 "Angola"      1 0 0 0 0
    4 2016 "Angola"      1 0 0 0 0
    4 2017 "Angola"      1 0 0 0 0
    end
    I would really appreciate all and any help you can give me.

    Best wishes,

    Andrea
