How to make a table for mean statistics by cross tab

[Anagaw Derseh]

Dear Statalist,

Can you give me a stata command to make summery table of publication standard (I want only mean information of the variables) by categorical variable. For example, I want to get cross tab of income, age, and household size based on education status (no edu, primary edu, above primary). i want also to get the number of digits after the point only like format %9.1f


.....................no edu,....primary edu.....above primary
income ........46.5 ..............82.1 ...............190.0
age ............ ..32.5 ............26.7 ............. 35.1
household size.... 4.2 ......... 3.9 ............ 4.4

Waiting to hear from you.

I don't know of any built-in commands that will do this; however, there are at least 3 user-written commands: table1, basetable and partchart; use the -search- command to find and download at least one of these; you will need to read the help files carefully to get exactly what you appear to want

forgot another user-written possibility: -sumtable-
