Hi,

The data I am detailing with pertains to the household and individual-level data from the National Sample Survey, India round 64 (2007-08). There are 7 blocks containing a specific set of responses associated with a household or an individual member of a household. While the other blocks are individual level/Household level data sets, this block has consumption item codes as the unit of observation (i.e. Value of consumption in 30 days and 365 days) among other variables. I am confused with regards to how to use the reshape data format (long to wide) so that I can convert the existing format to an individual/household format so that these can be merged with the individual level datasets.
