If you're working with a single wave, something like the following should work: . use qindresp . sort qhid qpno . gen femvalid = qage<=45 & qage>0 & qsex==2 . by qhid: egen hhdvalid = max(femvalid) . keep if hhdvalid You should be able to generalise it for other structures (i.e., other waves, multiple waves).
