Merge, aggregate, sum: You are sending conflicting signals. I suggest a worked example showing exactly what you want, before and after. It can be hypothetical; all that is needful is that it be clear.

I am working with a panel data set containing quarterly data on
balance sheet items for all american banks. I am trying to aggregate
the bank level data for banks with common ownership . I have a string
variable indicating the highest holding company level. my question is
how is it possible to sum those banks with common ownership.
