plot the median against the year in a panel data !

[Yousef Kaddoura]

Hello,

I want to plot the median of a variable against the year. As we all know, a panel consists of a lot of firms and years. This means that each year should consist of the median of all the data points of the firms in that specific year. If I wasn't clear, please tell me!

Regards,
Yousef

Could you please elaborate more on (1) your data (2) your desired graph?

egen mymedian = median(myvar), by(year) 
egen tag = tag(year) 
line mymedian year if tag, sort
