Re: st: Average when -inrange()-

[Joseph Monte <hmjc66@gmail.com>]

Thanks, Nick. I see what you mean.

sort group date2
gen count1=.
gen mean1=.
qui forval i = 1/`=_N'{
   su price if group==group[`i'] &
inrange(date2,ninetydaysbefore[`i'],date1[`i'])
   replace count1 = r(N) in `i'
   replace mean1 = r(mean) in `i'
   }
