I think this is what you want.

sort industry year
by industry: gen sum=sum(action) /*gives you the total amount of actions
taken at each point in time*/
gen BB=sum>0

> Hi,
>
> I am facing a problem creating a binary variable.
> I have a large panel data set. The three important variables are Year,
Industry, Action taken by an industry ( variable that takes the value 0 if
no action was taken and 1 if one action was taken and 2 if two actions were
taken and so on )
>
> The data looks something like this
> Year  Industry  Action
> 90        A       0
> 91        A       0
> 92        A       2
> 93        A       0
> 90        B       1
> 91        B       0
> 92        B       0
> 93        B       1

> I want to create a binary variable say BB, which takes the value 0 if no
prior action(in the previous years) has been taken by an industry and 1 if
some positive action has been taken by an industry in the previous years.
