BTW, if you are enamoured of -tsset-, use its second syntax

"tsset panelvar timevar [, options]"

which is equivalent to -xtset-ting.

Not a problem. Leave the data as "long", and -xtset- "generic":


*************
clear*
set obs 230
gen int nurshome=_n
expand 2
bys nurshome: gen byte observation=_n
xtset nurshome observation, generic
xtdes
*************

Or if the reports are issued half-yearly, change the option to -xtset-
appropriately, to -halfyearly-.

It is indeed panel data, but it will not let me xtset the data by year
because I have 230 nursing homes that have 2 financial reports in a
given calendar year.  Thus, my challenge is to combine these financial
reports into 1 observation which is the crux of my problem.

Thanks,
Matt
