Currently, asdoc does not support nested tables with margins, but I am working on it, the asdocx version will support it.

[Steve Bradley]

Kudos to "Capain asdoc" for writing this command! It's been really irritating not being able to have a simple way to output correlation tables until this was written.

Your words mean a lot. Thanks for your appreciation and for spreading the word about asdoc among your colleagues. If you can find a chance, please cite asdoc in your research.

Let me see the possibility of adding stcox to asdoc

Attaullah Shah
Is there a way to use the nest option with asdoc cmd for stcox and stcrreg?

I get the error:
depvar may not be a factor variable
r(198);

Hi @Attaullah Shah

Thank you for creating this very useful code.
I have been using asdoc however in Word document it looks very scattered and messy. I have tried a couple of things, and with every command that I use is the same
For instance, I used this code:
asdoc xtsum v2x_polyarchy eu_aid_capita allother_aid_capita

I have tried options like "auto-fit in the table" but those don't work either.
Thank you very much in advance

Hi,

Is it possible to arrange how many decimals that we display using asdoc command? Appreciate your help

Regards, Annur

[Attaullah Shah]

You can use the dec() option. For example, for 4 decimal points, use dec(4)

sysuse auto, clear
asdoc sum, dec(4) replace

Dear Prof. Shah, first of all many thanks for your excellent programme!!
I have come across with the following errors when I was trying to export out my resutls:

       func_nested_reg():  3200  conformability error
                 <istmt>:     -  function returned error

Before this code what I'm doing is:

asdoc reg self_cit $controls, r cluster(permno_adj) replace ///
      add(clustering error at firm level, YES) title(Table 3) nest
asdoc reg self_cit $controls if industry ==0, r cluster(permno_adj) ///
     add(clustering error at firm level, YES, CMM industry, YES) nest

it seems that the results matrix when industry =1 is incompatitable with the results matrix when industry =0. The whole code I aim to use is as following:

asdoc reg self_cit $controls, r cluster(permno_adj) replace ///
      add(clustering error at firm level, YES) title(Table 3) nest
asdoc reg self_cit $controls if industry ==0, r cluster(permno_adj) ///
     add(clustering error at firm level, YES, CMM industry, YES) nest
asdoc reg self_cit c.density##c.kd_cov_5  $controls if industry ==1, r cluster(permno_adj)  ///
     add(clustering error at firm level, YES, Drug industry, YES) nest

Dear Prof. Shah, You have done a superb job by developing 'asdoc' magical command. It saved me hell of time. I have a small question regarding the nested tables. Is there anyway that we could export more than one nested tables in the same doc file?

[Attaullah Shah]

Thanks for your appreciation. You can start a new table using the reset option

sysuse auto, clear
asdoc reg price mpg rep78 headroom, nest replace
asdoc reg price mpg rep78 gear_ratio , nest 

* Start a new table
asdoc reg price mpg rep78 headroom, nest reset
asdoc reg price mpg rep78 gear_ratio , nest

Thank you Prof. Shah!

I still have the same issue. Has anybody been able to solve this issue Attaullah Shah
Thank you

You are right, xtsum is not yet added to asdoc.

Dear Professor Attaullah Shah, I am trying to accomodate the "table" command to asdoc. However, I have some problems I would like to comment just for if you can help me with this.
First, the command is similar to the one in the help file:

asdoc table x1 x2 year if x3==1 & inlist(year,2008,2011), c(n x4 n x5 m x6) sc col row replace

However, I got the following error

. asdoc table x1 x2 year if x3==1 & inlist(year,2008,2011), c(n x4 n x5 m x6) sc col row replace

------------------------------------------------------------------------

               astable():  3301  subscript invalid
                 <istmt>:     -  function returned error
r(3301);

The problem is due to the "row" option in the command (if I only ask for "col" there is not problem). The same happen if you use the dataset and command from the asdoc help file (when asking more than a single variable). The following will work, but the next one will not.

 webuse byssin1, clear
        asdoc table workplace smokes race [fw=pop], by(sex) c(mean prob) format(%9.3f) replace

 webuse byssin1, clear
        asdoc table workplace smokes race, by(sex) c(mean prob n pop) format(%9.3f) replace

Is there any solution for this?

Another thing is that the output from the command in Stata is different from the one in Word (specifically the Total from the row option), the same will happen with the same row total using the previous dataset and command from the asdoc option:

. asdoc table x1 x2 year if x3==1 & inlist(year,2008,2011), c(n x4) sc col row replace

------------------------------------------------------
          |                year and x2

        3 |    21     20     41       12     20     32
          | 
    Total |    46     45     91       20     45     65
------------------------------------------------------
Click to Open File:  Myfile.doc

In Word:

and 2008 2011 1 2 Total 1 2 Total 1 25 25 50 7 18 25 2 1 7 8 3 21 20 41 12 20 32 Total 23 22.5 45.5 6.667 15 21.667

One last question is, how to put a zero in front of the decimal numbers? (using 0.95 instead of .95)

Can you help me to solve this issues?

Thanks in advance.

[Attaullah Shah]

I think you have a slightly old version. The current version available on my website is

*!  Version 2.3.8.9 : Changes made on October 12, 2020

And it produces the table from the help file without any issue.
The new version of asdoc can be installed from my site. Copy and paste the following line in Stata and press enter.

* To check the version of asdoc
which asdoc

* Install new version from my site
net install asdoc, from(http://fintechprofessor.com) replace

webuse byssin1, clear
asdoc table workplace smokes race, by(sex) c(mean prob n pop) tzok replace

Please note that after installation of the new version, you need to restart Stata.

asdocx is now available
A more powerful and flexible version of asdoc is now available. I call it asdocx. You may like to check the details here. For a short period of time, it is available for a huge discount.
