Stata 14 option stat() not allowed

[Janet Lewis]

Hi all,

I am running some descriptive stats and crosstabs which worked perfectly well when using the Stata 17 trial.
However today I am back to using Stata 14 however I keep getting an error.

. table v1, stat(mean v2 v3)
option stat() not allowed
r(198);

Any idea why this would happen?
Thanks!

the -table- command was heavily re-written for version 17 - not exactly sure why you want this, but you might investigate -tabstat-

Hi Janet, the -table- command was reinvented with Stata 17, so the new syntax can't work with older versions. You will need to adapt accordingly.

If -v1- is categorical, then this could work

table v1, contents(mean v2 mean v3)
