Hi everyone,

I have a dataset where I am trying to calculate total family income
identified by a unique family id "unifam".  Each person in the unifam has
a totalannual income and I am trying to add totalannual income to
calculate annual family income - at the unifam level.

For example

unifam==1  person=1 totalincome == 60
unifam ==1 person=2 titalincome == 40

unifam=1  totalfamilyincome == 100

unifam ==2 person=1 totalincome = 100
unifam==2 person=2 totalincome= 50
unifam =2 person=3 totalincome =50

unifam =2 totalfamilyincome ==200

Thanks!
