Exporting detailed summary statistics to Word

[Till Hiehler]

Hello helpful Stata users,

I am trying to generate a word export of my dependent variable via the sum function with details.
Should basically look like this in the end:

Now I have tried the asdoc export, which somehow seems to transform it into a one line table missing all the useful percentile information and just summing up Obs, Mean and so on...
> asdoc sum Exports_USD_Hundred_Million, detail

I have also tried using esttab, however I am unfamiliar with the command and couldn't produce what I was looking for.
Is there an option for asdoc, which just exports the table like it normally shows in Stata without the asdoc command in front? Or any other way, I can generate output such as in the above picture?

Thank you very much for any help and advice!

Kind regards,
Till

Welcome to Stata list. You will increase your chances of useful answer by following the FAQ on asking questions-provide Stata code in code delimiters, readable Stata output, and sample data using dataex. Also, providing pictures is not recommended – many of us won't open things from strangers and pictures are anything we can work with anyway.

If you have a nice output in the Stata results window, you can copy it using with the copy table option and it will paste nicely as a table. Given that you are just starting out with Stata, if you can get it this way with a copy and paste I would be strongly inclined not to invest a lot of time trying to automate it unless you're going to do this repeatedly.

Try

help asdoc

It opens a window where you can see lots of options. Chapter 2.2 there is all you need for detailed summary statistics

you can do, for instance

asdoc summary "variable", stat( N mean min max p1 p99 etc...)
