I have a series of variables that start with a particular letter ('l' in
this case). I would like to generate a new variable that measures the
change in variable over time (I have another variable 'week').
I have tried different variants of the following with little success:
tset week
for l@ : gen l@ret = (([email protected]@)/l.l@)
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
