Dear All,

I am new to the listserv, so I apologize if this has been covered before. I am trying to create a constant variable for mixed modeling but I can't wrap my head around solving the issue without copying and pasting (not feasible).

I would like to recode group membership so that it is the same at time 0 for the rest of the time values for each case. See below for my current data setup.

Your help is most appreciated!

Sincerely,

  Kevin Manning
