Hi everyone, I'm new to the forum and far from an Excel expert (but am enthusiastically learning.
I'm working on an analysis of the polar bear studbook and am trying to generate a list of “pairings”, which would include a male and a female, housed at the same institution (location) at the same time.
My columns are : (A) ID, (B) ***, (C) DOB, (D) Event, (E) Location, (F) Date, (G) Age at Event
Events include births, transfers, and deaths (total of 3545). To complicate the analysis, I only want to include individuals of reproductive age (4 yrs or greater) and an individual may be part of more than one pairing at a given timepoint (for example if 1 male is housed with 2 females).
I would like my output to list the pairing (M-F IDs), location, and duration.
As an example, I attached a simplified spreadsheet (data from the 1980s only). I hope I'm not in over my head and would greatly value all suggestions and advice!
