Hallo Erasmo,

You can try it by creating a local with all your years and then run the
xtile in combination with the if command. That's the way I did it:

------------
gen size_decile = .

levelsof yearvar, local(tempyear)

foreach i in `tempyear' {
xtile decile_temp=size1 if yearvar==`i', nq(10)
replace size_decile = decile_temp if missing(size_decile)
drop decile_temp
}

--------------

Regards,
Alex
