As an example, to get the median age by sex, you can use the 'table'
command.

nhanes3 dataset available at
http://www-unix.oit.umass.edu/~statdata/statdata/stat-logistic.html 

use nhanes3.dta
svyset [pweight= wtpfhx6], strata(sdpstra6) psu(sdppsu6)
table hssex, c(median  hsageir count hsageir) row

I'm using household survey data and using the svyset settings.

I can't figure out how to find the median value of a variable while
using svy:

I can theoretically use:

svy: tab variable

but my dataset is way to big and the variable has way to many values to
attempt this.

Any suggestions?
