tab command in Stata 17

[Federico Antonioli]

Hi everybody,

just a quick general question: the new Stata 17 modifies the command table, suppressing the option 'contents()' in which different variables and different statistics could be specified.

E.g.

table var1, c(sum var2 sum var3)

it is no more doable.

However, I do not find how to obtain the same table with Stata 17, anyone can help?

Thanks

Federico

Some confusion here.. The command tabulate -- which can be abbreviated tab or ta -- remains quite separate from the table command.


What is true is that the table command has been rewritten in Stata 17, so if you seek the old behaviour, you should use version control.

version 16: table var1, c(sum var2 sum var3)

This has been discussed already: see e.g. https://www.statalist.org/forums/for...-to-version-17
