I am tabulating using the following command but the variable
"indicator" whose code correspond to
for example "10" is my weight. So the command should use values of the
variable "value" that correspond to indicator==10 as my weight.
But I get no output and my output is in fact "no observation". Any
help would be appreciated.
**--command-----.
table rda year [aweight=indicator==10] if indicator==4, c(mean value) row
