I am trying to convert some data retaining the information from a string variable and replacing the name into new columns. These data contain all LEED variables for all regions in New Zealand from 2006-2018.
The structure of the data currently looks like this
What I need to do in order to merge with an existing data set is create a new format that would look like this:
I'm stumped as to how to decompose the measure_industry_region_year variable while also retaining the value for each row in the data. Any suggestions are much appreciated.
Best,
Davia
The structure of the data currently looks like this
Code:
. list measure_industry_region_year value in 1/15
