Grouping Variables?

[Jack Vinci]

Working to group multiple variables with same description under the same name in a table. Variables I am working with are MARSTAT, MARST, and MARSTCOHAB. and want them all to be in the same table with the categories of Married, Previously Married, Never Married. I was wondering if anyone could help in grouping these variables under the same name. I have had only success with using two variables, not all three.

You didn't get a quick answer. You will increase your chances of useful answer by following the FAQ on asking questions – provide Stata code in code delimiters, readable Stata output, and sample data using dataex. Often, it is best to post a simpler form of your problem simply to help the readers.


I suspect you can do this with table. You will need to label the values for your variables.
