Hello,
I am having trouble generating a categorical variable by the name of Age which is supposed to display categories in this format:
I am able to generate the first 4 categories using a loop however I am unable to understand as to how I can generate the final category "All ages (5-24 years)"
I used the following command to generate the first 4 categories and was wondering if you can help out with generating the last one within the categorical variable:
similarly, how may I add value labels to these categories within the loop?
Looking forward.
I am having trouble generating a categorical variable by the name of Age which is supposed to display categories in this format:
Age |
5-9 years |
10-14 years |
15-19 years |
20-24 years |
All ages (5-24 years) |
I used the following command to generate the first 4 categories and was wondering if you can help out with generating the last one within the categorical variable:
Code:
local x = 1 gen Age = 1 label variable Age "Age in Years" forvalue j=5(5)24{ replace Age =`x' if s1aq05>=`j' replace Age = . if (s1aq05<5 | s1aq05>24) local ++x }
Looking forward.
