Dear All,
I am working with household data and my problem is something like this.
For each household I have 'j' items where 'j' varies for each household. I
want to find the sum of these items for each household.
For example:
HHid item code amount consumed
501 2 2
501 5 3
501 6 1
501 8 5
501 10 6
501 11 2
502 2 5
502 6 8
502 7 2
502 13 9
502 15 3
502 16 5
502 1 3
In the above example I want to find the sum of the third column(amount
consumed) for each household and place this sum in the fourth column such
that the sum is repeated '
j' times for one household. As I have 69000 households, I wonder if there is
a command or a program is STATA that can do this for me. Also the number of
items consumed by each household varies.
I thank you for your help in advance.
Sincerely,
Kompal Sinha.
