I have a public dataset from a data center and would like to flatten the data.

For example here's a sample:

Station                                                             date                                                  type                               value

USC00242347

2000-01-01

TMAX

61

USC00242347

2000-01-01

TMIN

-72

USC00242347

2000-01-01

PRCP

0

USC00242347

2000-01-01

SNOW

0

I would like the data to look like:

USC00342347 2000-01-01 TMAX 61 TMIN -72 PRCP 0 SNOW 0

Essentially I want to aggregate the type and value variables based on the station and date.

How should I do this process?
