Subject: Re: st: Problem with forvalues option
I'm not certain, but if I understand this correctly, I think you would get
the same count for each record. You could add the "by" variable below or
you could do a "collapse"
*****Create new variable which counts # of service types utilized by
child's id by year
forvalues id = 114603/304057{
forvalues year = 2004/2007{
egen stypno`id' `year' = count(servtype), by(id year)
lab var styno "number of service types utilized each child per year"
}
}
