Thanks a lot, this works very well, although the lack of such command is indeed surprising

Hello, I would like to extract the specific observation valur (for a given cross-section for a given year) for the variable from the panel data workfile. How can I do it? @elem command does not work and I cannot find any substitute command for panels. I am pretty sure there must be an easy way aroun...

Thank you very much. I am done now. Have a good weekend

I tried changing this and did not work becasue the last command
copy(c=mean) untitled\x untitled1\ @src t5 crossid @dest t5 crossid
is not excecuted due to error (when crossid is alphanumeric)

Thank you again very much

Thanks a lot, but it does not seem to do a job for me In the end, I want to have a panel with the same crossections, but for these new frequencies. Your program for any given variable x, creates just a number of observations corresponding to number of 5-year periods. I need this done for every singl...

... so that I have new panel that has new frequency, so the observations are 1970-1974, 1975-1979 etc.

First option: I want this new page to be a panel, where I am taking the average over 5 year periods (for each cross-section)
Many thanks
Artur
