Hi, The output you showed is not clear especially the for the scores3, 2 2 2011-09-22 3 65 2.6 0.8 0.8 2 3 2011-10-26 4 34 2.7 0.8 0.8 3 1 2011-07-17 0 NA 2.8 0.5 0.6 In the input data, the scores3 column didn't had 0.8.

Hello, AK, now i have a problem really complicated for me, Now my table is like this: patient_id number responsed_at delais scores1 scores2 scores3 1 1 2010-05-26 NA 2.6 0.5 0.7 1 2 2010-07-07 42 2.5 NA NA 1 3 2010-08-14 38 2.3 NA NA 1 4 2010-10-01 48 2.5 0.7 0.6 1 5 2010-12-01 61 2.5 NA NA 2 1 2011-07-19 NA 2.5 0.8 0.5 2 2 2011-09-22 65 2.6 NA NA 2 3 2011-10-26 34 2.7 NA NA 3 1 2011-07-17 NA 2.8 0.5 0.6 3 2 2011-10-30 103 2.6 NA NA 3 3 2011-12-23 54 2.5 NA NA explications: delais = the date of "responsed_at" - the date of precedent "responsed_at" scores1 is measured every month scores2 and 3 are measured every three months first thing is : if the 20<delais <45, this count one month of delais if the 45<=delais <60, this count two month of delais,so add one line with the copy of the precedent line,and change the delais to 0 if the 60 <= delais <=90, this count three month of delais, so add two lines with the copy of the precedent line,and change these two delais to 0 if the delais >90, delete all the following lines and add a column "t", "t" means the month, "t" is in order second thing is : I want to replace NA of scores2 and scores3 with the precedent scores and finally get a table like this: patient_id number responsed_at t delais scores1 scores2 scores3 1 1 2010-05-26 0 NA 2.6 0.5 0.7 # scores2 and 3 are mesured every 3 1 2 2010-07-07 1 42 2.5 0.5 0.7 ## months,replace the following with precedent numbers 1 3 2010-08-14 2 38 2.3 0.5 0.7 # copy this line 1 3 2010-08-14 3 0 2.3 0.5 0.7 # add one line here and change delais to 0 1 4 2010-10-01 4 48 2.5 0.7 0.6 1 4 2010-10-01 5 0 2.5 0.7 0.6 1 4 2010-10-01 6 0 2.5 0.7 0.6 1 5 2010-12-01 7 61 2.5 0.7 0.6 2 1 2011-07-19 0 NA 2.5 0.8 0.5 2 1 2011-07-19 1 0 2.5 0.8 0.5 2 1 2011-07-19 2 0 2.5 0.8 0.5 2 2 2011-09-22 3 65 2.6 0.8 0.8 2 3 2011-10-26 4 34 2.7 0.8 0.8 3 1 2011-07-17 0 NA 2.8 0.5 0.6 (3 2 2011-10-30 103 2.6 0.5 0.6)# delete these 2 line (3 3 2011-12-23 54 2.5 0.5 0.6) ## and delete the following lines of this patient because the delais is 103 which superior to 90 Do you know how can i get this?
