My advisor wants me to add dollar signs to my table of summary statistics. I generate this table and export it to Latex using Stata's esttab command.
I need to 1) Add dollar signs to some of the results cells (not all) and 2) Make sure that Latex can handle the dollar signs.
I think that 2 might be accomplished using the substitute option, but I can't figure out how to do 1. Here is some minimal code that I am trying to use to solve this problem.
This produces:
I'd like to get it so the output would have \$ in front of the 6,072 and the 6,385
I see some discussion on the Statalist regarding workarounds for graphs, but nothing for esttab. Someone also mentions creating "custom formats" but I can't seem to find documentation on that anywhere.

Code:
sysuse auto, clear estpost summarize price mpg weight length if foreign==0 est store A estpost summarize price mpg weight length if foreign==1 est store B esttab A B using $root/Outputs/test.tex, replace /// //a file path on my machine cells("mean (fmt(%9.0fc %9.2fc %9.0fc))" "sd(par fmt(%9.0fc %9.2fc %9.0fc))") /// mtitle("Domestic" "Foreign") /// mgroups("Type", pattern(1 0) prefix(\multicolumn{@span}{c}{) suffix(}) span erepeat( \cmidrule(lr){@span})) /// nonumber booktabs f label collabels(none) eststo clear
Code:
&\multicolumn{2}{c}{Type} \\\cmidrule(lr){2-3} &\multicolumn{1}{c}{Domestic}&\multicolumn{1}{c}{Foreign}\\ \midrule Price & 6,072& 6,385\\ & (3,097)& (2,622)\\ Mileage (mpg) & 19.83& 24.77\\ & (4.74)& (6.61)\\ Weight (lbs.) & 3,317& 2,316\\ & (695)& (433)\\ Length (in.) & 196& 169\\ & (20)& (14)\\ \midrule Observations & 52& 22\\
