Several tabs in 1 .CSV file with the commad "esttab"?

[Francois Durant]

Hi,

Is it possible to create 1 CSV file with several tabs (one for each table...). I have read the doc here but I can't find the info.

Help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

A CSV file is, by definition, a text file where the values are comma separated. CSV lacks a concept of "tabs", or "worksheets". You would need to export to MS Excel, or one of the Libre Office/Open Office formats to do that. You could also export your output to a well defined XML format which would be rendered similarly to the typical workbook/worksheet spreadsheet programs.

I guess I should have formulated the question a different way: Is it possible to generate several tabs in one file whatever format it is using "esttab"? Thank you in advance.

I don't think esttab is set up for that. But you can use

help putexcel

to achieve roughly the same result, although it is a bit lower level than esttab/estout.

If you'd like to use esttab this way then the discussion here may help: https://www.statalist.org/forums/for...s-excel-sheets
