Have you had a look at the -postfile- commands family yet? It is certainly
hard to grasp initially, but extremely useful later on...

Hi Statalisters,

I am trying to obtain columns data31, data61 and data81 in the table
below. The values that I want to obtain for the 3 columns are shown
below. As an example, when code=1 and baseyear=yeara=1993, then the 4
values under variable data31 that I want to obtain (as shown in the
table) are:-

ln(((23.09-18.49)/68.78)+1) = 0.064738

ln(((35.56-18.49)/68.78)+1) = 0.221689

ln(((39.32-18.49)/68.78)+1) = 0.264554

ln(((46.58-18.49)/68.78)+1) = 0.342457


I tried the following code, but am "obviously" only getting the last
year's values (i.e. for data31, data61, and data81; .342457,
1.209815	and .738831 respectively (after rounding)).

I also want to generate a counter (1,2,3 and 4) for the 4 values that
I get above for each code. I need this because I need to -reshape- the
data to wide after I obtain the values.

Note that there is only one match of yeara and baseyear.


Code that I tried:-


foreach var of varlist data3 data6 data8 {

	local i=1

	gen `var'1 = .

	while `i'<5 {

	by code: replace `var'1 = ln(((`var'[_n+`i']-`var'[_n])/data6)+1) if
yeara==baseyear

	local i=`i'+1

	}

}




code	baseyear	yeara	data3	data6	data8	    data31	
data61	                   data81
