Space as thousand separator in "format"

[Andrea Cinque]

Hi,

Is there any way I can use space separators for thousands instead of commas or dots? In "format" I can easily switch to dots, but is there a way I can format "10,000" as
"10 000"?

I need it for a graph, in which I cannot change manually the value labels.

Thanks!

There's no accounting for taste!

I don't understand the last sentence, but let's suppose you want to show 0(10000)50000 with spaces before the 000.

forval  j = 10000(10000)50000 {
    local J = `j' / 10000
    label def x `j'  "`J' 000", add
}

label val x x

twoway scatter y  x, xla(0(10000)50000, valuelabel)
