Removing outliers from stata boxplot view

[Roman Kryzhanovskiy]

Dear all
I am using Stata for my master thesis, and have some problems figuring out how to remove the outliers from my boxplot.
Reason I want to remove the outlier is due to the fact that I use boxplot to display my data graphically, and just want to focus on the quartiles in the main report, as the boxplot with the outlier will be presented in appendix.
I am able to remove outliers within the graph editor, but this is done one by one, which takes too much time.

Thanks in advance!

Kind regards,

Roman

If you collapse to median and quartiles, and then draw box plots, you will get a box plot showing those alone.

This seems rather extreme, although it has been asked before. I would prefer to find a transformation in most cases.

See these threads from April

and know that a Tip on the topic is in press at Stata Journal 19(4) and likely to be published in December.

Thank you for the answer!
I found another solution by acutally reading Stata manuel, which stated that you can use command nooutsides, to remove all outliners

Indeed, but that leaves whiskers in place -- which didn't seem to be what you were asking.

Oh yea, sorry I forgot to say, that I actually wanted those in the boxplot aswell, so that command was fine for me

Another offtopic question, if you read this, that I can't figure out:
How do I generate a new table, where I want to transform nubmers into text, such as value 2 in one table = Monday in my new generated table. I have values 2,3,4,5,6 - representing all days between monday-friday.
