How to duplicate an observation

[Alyssa Beavers]

Hello,

I need to duplicate a few observations in my data and then edit each observation separately. Some of my participant ID's are couples, so one ID is actually for two people. I want to duplicate the observations where the participant ID is a couple, then replace the participant ID with the correct ID for each member of the couple individually.

How do I write the code for this?

Thanks,
Alyssa

Hi, how do you edit each duplicates separately after expanding? For example, I duplicated the observation "EU" by 6, and for each duplicated observation I would like to change it to "Austria, Belgium, Croatia, Italy, Poland".

you don't show us your code so, did you use the "generate()" option when you used the -expand- command? if yes, then you can use that
