Dear Forum Administrator,

I understand it is important to post questions in the Forum but I am unable to figure this out. That is why I sent an email.

gen wt=hv005/1000000
ta shstate [iw=wt]
This gives me a population of 189.7K. I expect to see a population in millions. So I decided as below
gen wt=hv005/1000
ta shstate [iw=wt]
This gives me a population of 189.7 million.

I want to get the "N" in terms of the total population and not the sample "n".

Thanks,
Rose
