Hello,

You can change the number of years preceding the survey with the 'length' option.

For instance

tfr2, entry(v509c) awf(awfac_cons) len(5), if v501==1 // for the total

will compute rates for the 5 years preceding the survey.

You can also use calendar years instead of years preceding the survey, with the option cy.

tfr2, entry(v509c) awf(awfac_cons) len(5) cy, if v501==1 // for the total

Best regards,

Bruno
