Hi David and statalist,
I am using the carryforward command as follows. As you can see, there
is some unintended backward filling. Where does that -.25 come from?
carryforward voice_acct, gen(voice3)
year country_name voice_acct voice3
1991 Bangladesh -.25
1992 Bangladesh -.25
1993 Bangladesh -.25
1994 Bangladesh -.25
1995 Bangladesh -.25
1996 Bangladesh -.23 -.23
1997 Bangladesh -.24 -.24
1998 Bangladesh -.25 -.25
1999 Bangladesh -.345 -.345
2000 Bangladesh -.44 -.44
2001 Bangladesh -.44
Thanks. -Steve
