Howdy,

I'm using Stata 11. I have a data table with 5 variables (columns)and over 500,000 observations. Two of them are time (Year, Month) variables and one location (Location) variable. I am trying to get the sum of the other two variables (Tons, Number_of_Barges) by location and time. 

I tried to sort the data and get the summary statistics, but it didn't produce the desired result. I typed the following codes:

sort location year month
by location year month: summarize(Tons Number_of_Barges)


The problem with this code is, it didn't give the totals. I would greatly appreciate if you can offer any help or advise.

Thanks.
Zafar
