Tim, this will do the same thing if region 99 is always the last observation in the file gen flag = 0 replace flag = 1 if LCI > UCI[_N] replace flag = 2 if UCI < LCI[_N] replace flag = . if region == 99 HTH, Graeme. -----Original Message----- From: owner-statalist@hsphsun2.harvard.edu [mailto:owner-statalist@hsphsun2.harvard.edu] On Behalf Of Tim Evans Sent: 02 March 2012 10:14 To: 'statalist@hsphsun2.harvard.edu' Subject: st: RE: flagging significant values in a variable Hi, I did come up with a solution, but its probably not that clean, but it worked: gen LCI3 = LCI if region==99 gen UCI3 = UCI if region==99 replace LCI3 = LCI3[_n-1] if missing(LCI3) replace UCI3 = UCI3[_n-1] if missing(UCI3) gen long flag=. replace flag = 1 if LCI> UCI3 & region!=99 replace flag = 2 if UCI<LCI3 & region!=99 replace flag = 0 if flag==. & region !=99 label define sig_test 0 "Not sig" 1 "Sig higher" 2 "Sig lower" label values flag sig_test drop UCI3 LCI3 sort region list end - flag +---------------------------------------------------+ | end rate LCI UCI region flag | |---------------------------------------------------| 1. | 5 0.9727 0.9583 0.9849 1 Not sig | 2. | 5 0.9713 0.9523 0.9867 2 Not sig | 3. | 5 0.9835 0.9667 0.9971 3 Not sig | 13. | 5 0.9790 0.9741 0.9836 99 . | +---------------------------------------------------+ Is there a better way?

I'm using Stata 11.2. Best wishes Tim _DISCLAIMER: This email and any attachments hereto contains proprietary information, some or all of which may be confidential or legally privileged.
