Dear All,

I need a bit of help with dropping missing observations. If I use 'drop if missing(var)' or drop if 'var'==. etc. many other observations are dropped as well. More precisely, var1 has 1125 observations and var2 has 169 observations. I want to drop missing observations for var2 but if I use drop if var2==. then this will keep only 169 observations for each variable. I only want to drop values that are missing. 

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you
