st: Panel data and -spmap-

[Jeremy Wells <jwell33@tigers.lsu.edu>]

Hi all,

I have a panel dataset with one observation per province-week over six years.
I would like to draw maps using -spmap-, but I would like to have fewer than
one map per week; thus, I created a year variable and entered

spmap var using coorfile.dta if year==200X, id(province),

which returns the following:

Variable province specified in option id() does not uniquely identify the observations
r(459);

Is there a way around this that does not end up with me -collapse-ing the weekly data
into years? A way to plot the mean, sum, change or any other average over the course
of the 52 weeks would be ideal to have in this case, it seems.

Thanks,
