st: Creating a variable (cumulative revenue by title)
Dear all,
I have a question about creating a variable. The structure of my data is a
little complicated. Here is an example.
wk title country wkrev crevc wkrevall crevall
1 X A 10 10 10 10
2 X A 20 30 20 30
4 X A 30 60 30 60
5 X B 40 40 40 100
1 Y C 10 10 30 30
1 Y D 20 20 30 30
2 Y C 30 40 70 100
2 Y D 40 60 70 100
4 Y E 50 50 50 150
wk=week
wkrev=weekly revenue
crevc=cumulative revenue from each country up to the week (by title)
wkrevall=weekly revenue from all countries for each week (by title)
crevall=cumulative revenue from all country up to the week (by title)
My question is: how can I create the last variable "crevall"?
I created 'crevc' and 'wkrevall' by the following:
sort title country week
by title country: gen crevc=sum(wkndrev)
sort title week country
by title week: egen wkrevall=total(wkndrev)
Thank you in advance.
Mike.
