Did you try the /track/ option?

Hi,
I want to create a variable containing the rank order of another one
but I cannot make tie corrections:
the data:
v6 countMain aaa 374
bbb 213 ccc 204 gvfdg 193
gfdg 170
gfdh 166
I use egen rankMain=rank( countMain) if counter_v6==1, field
#counter_v6 is a _n variable for v6
if I don't use the /field/ parameter I get the reverse order of that
I want, e.g. aaa gets a rank of 4880 instead of 1. However using
field doesn't correct for ties (want to use the average for ties).
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance,
Nikos
