variable management

[Chiara Tasselli]

Good evening,
I have a battery of 15 variables which reply at the following question:

"HOW LIKELY IS IT THAT YOU WILL .....?
Express a rating from 1 to 5 where 1 = Extremely Unlikely and 5 = Extremely Likely"

I was wondering if there is any (quick) command which for each variable builds a dummy that takes value one if that variable takes the highest value of the row (among all 15 variables).


Many thanks in advance for your time.
Wishing you all a great weekend ahead.
