Hi,

I am working with stata and i have a question so i can continue my thesis.
I have got a dataset that i want to merge with another dataset. To do so, i want to use two variabels. the year and the FIPS.
However, the FIPS is not unique for every company, neither is the fyear,, so i can not use merge. 1:1
Is there another way to merge them together? Since it is possible that the FIPS and the fiscal year is the same for different company's and that should not be changed.

Thank you!
