Year in order

[Ed Suh]

Hi

I have values from 1 to 10
and I would like to rename the numbers to years 1992 to 2002.
I tried with for values but does not work.
Do you have any suggestions?

Thank you very much!

Can't be done. Years 1992 to 2002 is a range of 11 years, so 10 numbers is not enough. Assuming you meant 1992 to 2001, just do:

gen year  = 1991 + old_value

(Replace old_value by the name of the variable that ranges from 1 to 10.)

Yes I am sorry for the mistake.
This method is much simpler than using the loop!

Thank you!
