Dear Antoine,

The second option is better and worked.

. reshape wide item hhi , i(importer) j(id_item)

The above command reports "item" and the associated "hhi" for all items. Suppose I want only the hhi, deleting item from the above reshape command doesn't work.

Thank you very very much.

Syed
