Dear All,

I am running an analysis about the behavior of some footbal teams in the Italian championship. An example of data is attached:

Code:

clear
input byte giornate str10(squadra sfid2) byte ammoniti wanted
2 "Atalanta"   "Juventus"   2 1
2 "Bologna"    "Milan"      1
2 "Brescia"    "Lecce"      2
2 "Cagliari"   "Fiorentina" 1
2 "Chievo"     "Livorno"    3
2 "Fiorentina" "Cagliari"   1
2 "Inter"      "Palermo"    3
2 "Juventus"   "Atalanta"   1 -1
2 "Lazio"      "Reggina"    1
2 "Lecce"      "Brescia"    4
2 "Livorno"    "Chievo"     3
2 "Messina"    "Roma"       5
2 "Milan"      "Bologna"    2
2 "Palermo"    "Inter"      1
2 "Parma"      "Udinese"    3
2 "Reggina"    "Lazio"      3
2 "Roma"       "Messina"    3
2 "Sampdoria"  "Siena"      3
2 "Siena"      "Sampdoria"  2
2 "Udinese"    "Parma"      2
end
I need to calculate the difference in the variable "ammoniti" within the same match. Consider the bold cases: THe team Atalanta received 2 yellow cards (ammoniti) when playing against Juventus, which instead received 1 yellow card. What I would like to obtain (wanted) is the difference in the number of yellow cards. In the first case that difference is 1. In the second case, it is -1. It is a bit time consuming to fill in the data "manually". Is there any way I can do it more quickly?

EDIT

I tried the following:

Code:
gen diffy=0
levelsof squadra, local(sq)
levelsof sfid2, local(sf)
foreach s of local sq{
foreach f of local sf{
replace diffy=ammoniti-ammoniti if "`s'"=="`f'"
}
}
But it does not work.

Any suggestion is highly appreciated.

Thanks,

Dario
