Hi
I have the following columns with dates and results, sorted by subject and
date. I'd like to compute the differences in dates and results for each
patient, based on the previous row. Obviously the last entry for each subject
should be a NA.
Which would be the best way to accomplished that ?
I guess questions like that have been already answered a thousand times, so I
apologize for asking one more time.
Thanks
Roberto
