    Hi,

    1) mrn :unique identifier
    2) test_results: Results for a certain test
    3) window_test: categorical variable for time windows in which test was conducted.

    Code:
    * Example generated by -dataex-. To install: ssc install dataex
    clear
    input long mrn byte test_results float window_test

    I want to generate a new variable that can count each occurrence of mrn. It should look like the following:

    Code:
    * Example generated by -dataex-. To install: ssc install dataex
    clear
    input long mrn byte(her2_method_ihc window_test seq)

     4299731 . 1 3
     5157409 1 1 1
     5157409 1 1 2
     5157409 3 2 3
    end
    Any help would be great. Thanks!

        Thanks both. You both asked and answered a question I was going to ask (about MRN counts actually). Glad I did not post again.
