Re: st: AW: Forvalues [was cut function]

Dear Martin,

thank you very much for your help. Your ad-hoc-ish solution works very well.

I have another problem when I consider also the price.Maybe you can
help me also for this.

This are my data:

Date                Time      Price     Newtime   Quantity
03jan2000           .           .           93000           0
03jan2000       93157    148.25     93100           1
03jan2000       93201    148.25     93200           1
03jan2000       93208    148.25     93200           1
03jan2000       93211    148.63     93200           1
03jan2000       93248    148.25     93200           1
03jan2000       93252    148.25     93200           1
03jan2000       93301    148.46     93300           1

Now I want to aggregate the quantity for the newtime, date and price.

Is there a way to keep the chronological order, i.e. the new quantity
at price 148.25 for the newtime 93200 must not be a single quantity of
4 but two quantity of two, which preserve the chronological order. In
other words, I would like to have a result like this:

Date                Time      Price     Newtime   Quantity  NewQuantity
03jan2000           .           .          93000           0              0
03jan2000       93157    148.25     93100           1              1
03jan2000       93201    148.25     93200           1              2
03jan2000       93208    148.25     93200           1              2
03jan2000       93211    148.63     93200           1              1
03jan2000       93248    148.25     93200           1              2
03jan2000       93252    148.25     93200           1              2
03jan2000       93301    148.46     93300           1              1

And then I can drop the duplicate.

I tried with collapse, constructing an id, but I cannot reach this result.

Could you please help me?

Thank you very much.
Katia
