The whole problem looks a bit complicated to follow but has the feel
of a need to process separate datasets for each of several months and
assemble them into a whole.
-egen-'s function -sum()- is an undocumented synonym for -total()-.
Either way, the error message you get is what happens when your
dataset is reduced to 0 observations, so that some previous -drop- has
removed all the data.
So, my guess is that you need to trap that case and move to the next file.
Otherwise put, your code change has exposed an assumption which was
true about data for all regions but not for all states of whatever
country you are dealing with.
