Multiple rows same person [message #22445]

Hi,

I ran a survey where each respondent answered 18 questions. I have it in excel so that each 18 rows of data describes the responses of 1 person (which is what I want). As I put the first column as the 'Response_ID', is it important to have all 18 questions associated with the same person with the same 'response ID', or is it better that each row has a different response ID despite being the same person? (When importing into Stata) thanks.
