Dear All,
How can i create a new variable that is equal to the difference in ewportret
(see below table) between two groups in the same month?
For example: the first row of the newvar below would be equal to (.0375245-
.041679) and the second row would be equal to(.0397919- .0449738)
group time ewportret newvar
1 2007m4 .0375245
1 2007m5 .0397919
1 2007m6 -.0188678
0 2007m4 .041679
0 2007m5 .0449738
0 2007m6 -.0240277
Thank you
Gokhan
