My data are as follows: municipality year month muni1 1990 1 muni1 1990 2 muni1 1991 5 muni2 1991 6 muni2 1991 7 According to the documentation and to my prior experience with fillin, "fillin municipality year month" should give me 50 observations (ten for each municipality -- i.e., muni1 1990 1 / muni1 1990 2 / muni1 1990 3 ... muni1 1991 6 muni1 1991 7). Unfortunately, this does not happen. Some of the desired 50 observations appear, but many do not. (Of course, my actual data have close to one million observations, but the structure is the same). The closest archive thread I can find is this one http://www.stata.com/statalist/archive/2007-01/msg00891.html, which is unresolved (as far as I can tell). Thanks in advance for your thoughts. I am very confused. * * For searches and help try: * http://www.stata.com/help.cgi?search * http://www.stata.com/support/statalist/faq * http://www.ats.ucla.edu/stat/stata/
