Delete observations under conditions

[Nanna Larsen]

Hi, I have a question that I hope someone can answer. I'm still pretty new to stata, so excuse me if I'm completely lost...

I work with a dataset where I made my own. A survey.

I have 538 observations in my dataset.
I am researching something with Muslims in Denmark and have therefore measured the degree of their identification with the social group "muslim minorities" on three variables.
Here, they should declare "strongly agree" to "strongly disagree" on a scale of 1-5.

I would now like only to keep the observations that have either responded "strongly agree" or "partially agree" on mininum two of the three variables.


I don't know if that's a possibility in stata at all? I've searched and read a lot, but can't find some commands that can solve my problem.
