Hey everyone,
I have the following dataset:
And am reshaping it using this command:
Here's my question: I would like the new variable created "Category" to not consist of the previous variables names (e.g. "PlcyLear") but of the variable labels of the original ag1de_ prefixed variables (e.g. "Policy learning"). Do you have an idea how I could do this?
For your reference, here are the policy labels.
Thank you!
I have the following dataset:
