  • Drop ID if different observations for that same ID do not vary across another variable

    Hello,

    I am using Stata 14.2 on Windows. This is my first post so I hope I am doing this correctly.

    The dataset I am using contains around 100.000 observations with information about buildings.
    Each building has an ID number like 344100000000006, followed by an adress, (..some more variables that are not important for the question) and the function (labeled with values 1 - 12).
    One building can contain multiple living units, a store on the ground floor etc. These units are all seperate observations with the same building ID (so they will have the same adress and only (if) differ in function). Therefore one building ID can occur for example 16 times.

    I want to know which buildings have more than one function, like building with ID 344100000000042, which is used for both function 3 and 12.
    I am not interested in buildings with only one function so I want to drop them from the data set.

    I believe I need to combine different observations with the same ID into one, and while this is an issue I found many forumusers are struggeling with, I am not experienced enough with Stata to apply suggestions to other problems to my own case. Therefore I sincerely hope someone is willing to help me.

    edit: I also created a variable 'multiplebuilding' indicating how many times a building ID occurs. Don't know if it might be helpful.

    The data looks like this: (I excluded other variables that are not important to the question)
