Merging and transforming excel data into panel data format with python or R

Completed Posted 5 years ago Paid on delivery
Completed Paid on delivery

The original data set is an excel file with information about 117 countries over time (1970-2013) and 40 variables per country and year. Each country's information is within one tab of the excel spreadsheet, ordered by year and then columns for each variable. I need this in one large table in panel data format (column 1: country; column 2: year; column 3...: variables). In Python or R (or whichever computer software you like to do) this should be relatively quick and easy to do. A screenshot shows the original excel file (tabs=countries), and another screenshot the desired panel data format. NO HAND CODING OR MANUAL COPY PASTING. I will need to see the code you used.

Please describe in your bid how you would go about the task (which software; a little bit about your coding approach), and confirm that you will share the (commented) script with me for replication. Please if you plan to copy paste don't bid because I can do that myself - I want to automate it and avoid human error. I work in R but I have colleagues working in Python as well. I don't care about the exact software. Thanks!
