Hi Martin, 

Thanks for the prompt response.

The message attached is my original request, which got bounced back:

For Group1, the calculated value for A09 is 23.4; for Group2, the calculated
value is 0 and so on for the rest of the groups. But how can I reuse 23.4
(Group 1, A09) in one specific (further) calculation and 0 (Group2, A09) in
a separate (further) calculation?

I think it should be quite easy, but I just don't know how to do that. 

Calchas

Dear Statalist,
 
I have the following table with column "A09" needed to be calculated.

Cohort    Tot08    Tot09    A08    A09

Group 1    48        66     17      ?
Group 2    10        3      0       ?        
Group 3    3         4      2       ?
Group 4    1         0      0       ?
Group 5    3         8      0       ?
Group 6    0        31      0       ?
Group 7    266      245    181      ?
 
I use the command:
 
gen A09=round((A08/Tot08)*Tot09)
 
This will work well for the missing column "A09", but how can I reuse the
calculated numbers to do further calculations?
 
I know it is something relating to the command of stored data, i.e.:
 
local missing=r(N)
 
but this is only for a scalar value, what about saving and reusing the
entire column? Really stuck at the moment and any help will be appreciated.
 
Ta,
Calchas
