Will Hall I don't use asdoc but your expectations here are, what shall we say, optimistic. If I understand correctly you want to display a 45 x 45 matrix and even allowing for symmetry, you still need 45 rows and 45 columns. How is that going to work well in any program? As you say, yikes.

Hello there,

Could you please help me how I can have frequencies and percentages in separate columns while I am conducting cross tabulation. Eg:
sysuse auto
asdoc tab rep78 foreign, row

so that to find results like
Domestic Foreign Total
N % N % N %

[Attaullah Shah]

Hello Judith
As you have noted, asdoc has a limited (and in some cases no) support for svy commands. I am working on asdocx, it will have all these missing features. More on asdocx can be found here https://fintechprofessor.com/asdocx/

[Judith Hauber]

Dear Professor Shah,

I have a problem when trying to use asdoc in combination with "svy: tabulate variable1 variable2, percent column" (svyset defining pweights). I get different results when I use the command with and without asdoc.
First of all, "asdoc svy: tabulate variable1 variable2, percent column" produces counts (in addition to percents) even though I did not ask for it and they do not match the weighted counts I get by using "svy: tabulate variable1 variable2, percent column count".
Second of all, the percentages differ.
The results (counts and percentages) of "asdoc svy: tabulate variable1 variable2, percent column" instead match "tabulate variable1 variable2, column", so it seems I get the unweighted results.
This problem also occurs when I just use one variable. However, when using proportion instead of tabulate, there are no discrepancies between the command with and without asdoc.

I did not find a solution (nor a similar problem) through google, so I'm hoping you are able to help.

Background information:
Just reinstalling asdoc is not a possibility as my computer does not allow Stata access to the internet. I would have to manually download and replace all the relevant files where the problem might be located. My asdoc-version is Version 2.3.9.5. I am using Stata 16, in case that is relevant.

Kind regards,
Judith Hauber

Thanks

kashif mansoor asdocx has a new sub-command, tabmany, that can tabulate many variables in one table.

[kashif mansoor]

Hi. Its a great programme.. But I am facing an issue.
I am using a dataset that has 3 years. I am using the command tabulate to do analysis. So I am writing, say, tabulate work_availability education_category if year==2004. I do it for other two years as well.
I want to export the results in table format in word file for all three years in one table. How can I get using asdoc? I tried, but I am not able to put it all in one table..
Please help. Thanks

[Doris Rivera]

Dear Professor, now is perfect. Thanks for your help.

[Attaullah Shah]

Thanks for reporting it. It was just a sorting issue, which I have fixed now. The new version of asdoc can be installed from my site. Copy and paste the following line in Stata and press enter.

net install asdoc, from(http://fintechprofessor.com) replace

Please note that the above line has to be copied in full. After installation of the new version, then restart Stata.

[Doris Rivera]

Dear Professor Attaullah Shah, you are very kind for your patience and help. I am so sorry for continiuing bothering you with this (maybe) small problem, but, even though now including the row total does not gives error, it seems that it is changing columns. Seing from your table in #169 for the "single" category, I see that the number of cases (n wage) in total is smaller than for the subsamples single-south==0 or single-south==1 which should not be. Also, in the category married, the row total (n wage, but the same happen for the rest of variables) as far as the command appear in Stata (not in Word) should be married-south(0)==835 and married-south(1)==599 which should sum up to 1434. So, it seem that only for the row total option, columns are changed between the output in Stata and Word. Finally, you can see that even though the sort of categories in my Word table follows the same as in your table (first column is single-south==0 second column is single-south==1 and third column is single-south==total) the row total for these categories in my Word (see at the end) are not the same as in your Word.
I apologize again for bothering you with this issue, just hope it is helpul for you.

Thanks again.

Dear professor Attaullah Shah, thanks for you answer, but still the problem is present. I have downloaded the new version (as you advice in #165) and restart the computer, but the command gives error if I ask for the row total. Just try to do the next command:

As you see, it gives error. This does not happen when only asking for the "col" option. However, I need both, col and row total. What I am doing wrong? Also, is there any way to put (in the Word) 0.95 instead of .95?

Thanks a lot in advance for your help.
