This is an FAQ.
How do I create variables summarizing for each individual properties
of the other members of a group?

The Statalist FAQ advises scrutiny of the Stata FAQs before posting.
In this case, the key is
sum of others = sum of all - this value
number of others = number of all - 1
watching out for missing values.
