st: Deleting similar observations
Date

Dear statlisters,
I have a database that
looks like this:
Account Buy sell
2 b
2 b
2 s
2 b
5 s
5 s
5 s
5 s
7 s
7 s
Taken per account, I would like to know if
there is a way to delete all the observations that have the same letter in
the Buy sell variable. In my case this would delete all observations from
account 5 since they are all only sell.
Thank you,
George
