-tsset- must specify both panel id and time variable. See -help tsset-.
Otherwise, see

I'm trying to declare a panel time series and I'd appreciate some help.
I have data on several variables over time, as well as Year and Month
variables. I used -tostring- to convert Year and Month to string, and I
concatenated them into a third string variable (format YearMo). I then
tried to convert this third variable into date format using
monthly(thirdvar,"ym") and used it in tsset thirdvar and got an error
message "repeated time values in sample". I know I'm doing something
wrong, but I can't figure out what or how to fix it.'
