Hi,
I have following dataset, with variabes start_date and end_date. I am using Stata 12 version in a secured lab without internet.
Now, I would like to create a variable "year_date" between the range of "15 June 2000" and "15 June 2016" so that I can keep the observations that are between the interval, in order to calculate population by year for 2000 - 2016."
I initially started with the code below but then realized that I would have to make two variables in that case.
I also tried the codes below but got errors.
I would appreciate your advice.
Thank you,
Pablo

Code:
* Example generated by -dataex-. To install: ssc install dataex clear input float id str30(start_date end_date) 1 "1oct1981" "1oct1986" 1 "2oct1986" "2oct1991" 2 "15nov1991" "15nov1993" 3 "20dec1995" "20dec2001" 3 "21dec2001" "21dec2006" 4 "15mar2005" "15mar2011" 4 "16mar2011" "16mar2016" 5 "7feb1995" "7feb2000" 5 "8feb2000" "8feb2005" 5 "9feb2005" "9feb2010" 6 "2jun2003" "2jun2005" 7 "16aug1995" "10march1997" 8 "2sep2001" "10aug2005" 9 "8jan2014" "9jul2017" 10 "14mar2005" "14mar2010" 10 "15mar2010" "15mar2015" 11 "1feb2013" "15mar2014" 12 "15may1997" "15may2002" 13 "25nov2004" "19jan2007" 14 "1jan2016" "1jan2017" 15 "21feb2012" "21feb2017" 16 "17jul2001" "17jul2016" end
Code:
gen start_dt=date(start_date,"DMY") format start_dt %td gen end_dt=date(end_date,"DMY") format end_dt %td
Code:
keep if year_date>=start_dt & year_date<=end_d
Code:
gen year_date=mdy(6,15,start_dt)
Code:
local start = date("2000/06/15", "YMD")
local end = date("2010/06/15", "YMD")
egen year_date = seq(), from(`start') to(`end')
format %td date
Thank you,
Pablo
