Concatenating returned results for output to excel (i.e. Median age = XX (XX - XX))

[Daniel Grint]

Hello,

I would like to be able to combine returned results so that I can putexcel them in a neat format. For example,

sysuse auto
summ mpg, detail
return list

if I wanted to output just the median mpg I would do this

putexcel A1 = r(p50)

What I'm struggling with is how to combine the returned results to output median and IQR in one cell in this format -> XX (XX - XX)

Can anyone suggest a solution? Many thanks

putexcel A1 = "Median age = `r(p50)' (`r(p25)' - `r(p75)')"

putexcel A1 = "Median age = `r(p50)' (`r(p25)' - `r(p75)')"

Thank you. I wasn't aware you could specify a string directly in the putexcel command.
