Subject: st: RE: tsset
I'm a relatively new user of STATA.  The following partial array of
numbers represents the Month of Sale (Salemonth) and Sale Price
(saleprice) of various real properties.  I wish to tsset the "salemonth"
so that #1 corresponds to April 2005, #2 corresponds to May 2005, etc.
Notice, however, that some months repeat themselves.  In other words, in
some months there are more than one transaction (Saleprice).
I've tried the following which does not work because it advances each
month by one, and does not recognize that some months can have multiple
sale price transactions.
Generate month = ym(2005, 04)+_n-1
tsset month, monthly
Thank you in advance
