Dear Statalisters�
I want to loop over firms and days, in order to calculate cumulative daily return for each firm and from day 1 to day 30. That means, 

firm       day             ret        Cret
1            1              x1         x1
1            2              x2        (1+x1)*(1+x2)-1
…           …                …         …   
1            30             x30       (1+x1)*(1+x2)*…(1+x30)-1
2            1
…             …
2            30
..
firm and day have numeric format.

I tried:

sort firm day
generate Cret = 0
levelsof firm, local(firms)
levelsof day, local(days)
foreach f of local firms {
foreach d of local days {
gen Cret(`f’, `d’) =  (1+Cret)*(1+ret)-1  if  firm == `f' & day == `d'   
replace Cret = Cret(`f’, `d’)  if firm == `f' & day >= `d'
drop Cret(`f’, `d’)
}
}


But it doesn’t seem to work. Have anyone idea about cumulative return or just cumulative sum for each firm and everyday, or just looping of this kind?

Any help and suggestion would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much in advance for your time.

Best regards

Hua
