tabstat table to latex, regarding decimal places..

[lianlian]

Hi Statalist,

I want to change the tabstat results to latex table. and found the following method:

sysuse auto
tabstat price mpg length, s(mean p25 median p75 p90 p95 p99) save
tabstatmat
test esttab matrix(test) using c:\temp\test.tex, replace

does anyone know how to control the decimal places of means? I looked for esttab for a long time... they do not have clear instructions/examples on how to control the decimal places of mean variables, I tried several options such as cells(r(fmt(a3))), but not working. Many thanks in advance!

Address this before using esttab

forvalues i=1/3{

matrix test[1 ,`i'] = round(test[1,`i'], .01)

}

Highlighted: The mean is in the first row of the matrix "test" and I am assuming that you have 3 columns. Displaying 2 decimal places (,.01), 3 decimal places (,.001), and so on.
