Sorry for the wrong posting..
Hi Stevie,
Basically you need to create the net expenditure variable (maybe per capita!). Let us assume it is called 'netexpend'
The command will be:
xtile quintile=netexpend [aw=weight], nq(5)
Hope this helps.
Jon

expenditure ( which proxies the income of the household) visits to
health facilities; current level of education, residence (rural and
urban) and I would like to divide the sample into quintiles (groups of
20%), using household net expenditure,
Please assist the appropriate stata commands to execute the above and
thanks in advance
