Hi Allin
Thanks again for responding.
"There's a new feature and a fix in the gretl source code"Sounds great!
"not yet in snapshots for Windows and Mac, but they'll follow soon"
Does that mean it's not yet in the Windows version
here?https://gretl.sourceforge.net/win32/
Thanks
Gene

Sorry that I wasn't clear. I'm looking for how to do things
using the menu based version. That is, where can I click on to get the aggregate or the
means by group, using the menu drop downs?
There's a new feature and a fix in the gretl source code (not yet in snapshots for
Windows and Mac, but they'll follow soon).
* Feature: the "Summary statistics" item under the "View" menu in the
main gretl window now branches into "plain" and "factorized". In the
factorized case you're asked to select a "primary" variable and a factor,
and you get summary statistics for the primary one "by" the values of the
factor. In effect, this enables GUI access to the "--by" option to the
"summary" command as mentioned by Sven.
* Fix: when you invoke a "factorized boxplot" (also mentioned by Sven) the
window that displays the plot has a right-click menu including the item "Numerical
summary". This ought to provide quick access to basic summary stats by value of the
factor, but it was broken for the case where the factor variable is string-valued (like
AreaRegion in your test data file). You'd get the message "Data
error". That's now fixed.
