try to do this:
bysort table quarter: replace table = "" if quarter != 1

*****************
I am trying to produce a report using Stata's -list- command. The data
looks like this
table quarter n
qtr_a.dta 1 128
qtr_a.dta 2 129
qtr_a.dta 3 128
qtr_a.dta 4 4
qtr_b.dta 1 130
qtr_b.dta 2 129
qtr_b.dta 3 130
qtr_b.dta 4 5
However, to make it easier on the readers eye (I think), I would list it
like this
table quarter n
qtr_a.dta 1 128
2 129
3 128
4 4
qtr_b.dta 1 130
2 129
3 130
4 5
Any ideas how I can replace the non-first cases of each table with missing
So far, I was trying to go down this path
bysort table quarter: replace table = "" if table ! = table[1]
