Hello everybody,
I am working on a dataset right now and need to know a simple thing. The dataset looks roughly like this:
As you might have guessed I want to sum all votes with the same key and generate a new variable with as many rows as i have individual keys (in this case 3 rows):
using "egen votes2 = sum(votes), by(key)" I receive the original number of rows and the sum repeatedly.
I am kinda confused even though it probably is very easy to solve.
greetings
Felix
