I have a dataset containing over 300'000 observations and have identified a few (1'725) duplicates that need to be combined for me to continue my analysis. I would like to merge each duplicate into one so that the final observation keeps the maximum value for each variable, would anyone know how to do this?
So I have for example:
Obs# | Year | CompanyName | var1 | var2 | var3 |
1 | 2002 | A | 150 | . | 52 |
2 | 2002 | A | 22 | 35 | 48 |
Obs# | Year | CompanyName | var1 | var2 | var3 |
1 | 2002 | A | 150 | 35 | 52 |
