i have panel data of firms. i have merged two data sets to process data further first i tired to declare it as panel. unfortunately, stata issued an error message. the code and error message is as:
xtset gvkey year
repeated time values within panel
r(451);


however, i have checked past posts. i also tried commands suggested in these post but none solved the problem. my data consists of 3698 firms, 30 variables, 69018 observations from year 1992 to 2016.
