Hey there,

Having solved my last issue leads me directly to the next one..
My goal is to reshape the variable year in a wide format as well as I would like to keep the variable bond and both float variables in the long format. Moreover, it should be possible then to subidivide each bond within the variable of maturity and yield.

Firstly, I thought I do it through the command reshape already in the Editor file .. But this is not working since the variables maturity and yield are both float variables and I want to keep a date as well as a value within one column.
