Revision history [back]

To organize values from several columns and create a new variable, you can follow these steps:

1. Choose the columns that contain the values you want to use to generate a new variable.

2. Decide on the type of new variable you want to create (e.g., categorical, continuous).

3. Determine the rules for generating the new variable. For example, if you are creating a categorical variable, you may want to group certain values together based on a specific criterion.

4. Use software such as Excel, R, or Python to perform the necessary calculations and generate the new variable.

5. Verify that the new variable has been created correctly by examining its distribution and comparing it to the original variables used to generate it.

6. Rename the new variable appropriately, and use it in your analysis as needed.
