Hello all,
I've tried to solve this for weeks and posted to other forums with
little success- I'd appreciate any help from anyone.
I have survey data grouped by facility and area (area is a collection of
facilities). Questions are q1-q10.
For each facility, I need to subset each item into the facility's
responses, and the facility's area responses excluding the facility.
This might illustrate it better:
Area Facility Q1... Q10
1 1 2
1 2 3
1 3 1
2 4 4
2 5 5
2 6 2
A<- Select Q1 for all Area=1 and Facility!=1; B<- Select Q1 for all
Facility=1; <do something with A and B>
A<- Select Q1 for all Area=1 and Facility!=2; B<- Select Q1 for all
Facility=2; <do something with A and B>
A<- Select Q1 for all Area=1 and Facility!=3; B<- Select Q1 for all
Facility=3; <do something with A and B>
...
A<- Select Q10 for all Area=2 and Facility!=6; B<- Select Q10 for all
Facility=6; <do something with A and B>
I know how to write the code to manually pull each subset, but I have a
lot of facilities and areas that get renamed from year to year so I need
to "vectorize" my code so each subset doesn't have to be explicitly
called by area or facility name.
Again, I would be incredibly appreciative of any help. I'm at a
dead-end.
