Display st.error under mean in esttab

[Zhansaya Kanatova]

Hi!
This is my code and my output, the problem is I don't know how to put standard errors under the mean results (to save space)
eststo clear
sort race
eststo: quietly estpost summarize ///
yearsexp honors volunteer military,
by race: eststo: quietly estpost summarize ///
yearsexp honors volunteer military,

esttab, cells("mean(fmt(%12.3fc)) sd") label mtitles(Races)

[Andrew Musau]

estout/ esttab is from SSC as you are asked to explain. Here is one way:

webuse lbw, clear
eststo clear
bys race: eststo: quietly estpost summarize low age smoke
esttab,  main(mean) aux(sd) label mtitles

Res.:

. esttab,  main(mean) aux(sd) label mtitles

Hi, is it possible to adjust the number of decimals (of the mean and sd) in this context?

[Andrew Musau]

Add the format within -main()- and -aux()-, e.g.,

esttab,  main(mean 2) aux(sd 2) label mtitles

Res.:

. esttab,  main(mean 2) aux(sd 2) label mtitles
