thanks Maarten, by using sum I get the following:
. sum hy020 [w=db090]
(analytic weights assumed)
Variable | Obs Weight Mean Std. Dev. Min Max
-------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------
hy020 | 2481 4012818.04 32078.65 35411.68 -4000 909798
hy020 is the household disposable income. Here I have the weight (= no
of household represented) and the mean income. How to get a total sum,
not only for the householdin the sample, but representative for all
household (=weight)?
thanks
