> Now, I want to firstly add rows with similar codes to see total number of Male and Female in each month for each company. Secondly, I need to calculate fraction of Female in each month (F/ M+F) for each one of these companies. For example, in first month of company 001, there is a male and a female working, so in this month the fraction of female is 0.5. I need to know the coding to get this fraction for my whole data.
