create table from var values

[Robert Kolesar]

Hello,

I am using Stata 17 and would like to create a table showing the var values for each observation which includes a string var.

The only way I can manage it is to do it with the browser, copy and paste it into a word table. Is there a way to do it with a Stata command?

What would the table show?

Hello Nick,

I have 2 vars with 3 observations each. Var1= 1, 2, 3, Var2= 2,3,4

I would like the table to show:
Var1 Var2
1 2
2 3
3 4

I can create this table using the command "br var1 var2", but then I need to copy it and manually paste it into word and reformat it.

Does Stata 17 with the new tables feature have the ability to create this simple table with export to Word?

Thanks,

Robert

I don't have Stata 17, but you can do this using putdocx.

clear
input str1(var1 var2)
"1" "2"
"2" "3"
"3" "4"
end


putdocx clear 
putdocx begin

putdocx paragraph 
putdocx table tablename = data("`r(varlist)'"),  varnames headerrow(1)  
putdocx table tablename(.,.)

putdocx save "Example" , replace
