How to "table" into a putdocx or other

[Doris Rivera]

Dear all, I am using Stata 16 and dealing with several descriptive stats as well as graphs, and I need to include these into a Word document. I will need to build several reports for different subsamples of my dataset using Word documents. I am trying to use "putdocx" which works well for graphs (I can use it to automatically include several graphs into the different sections of the document), but problems arise when trying different summary stats. For instance, what I need most is to include three level tables like:

table x1 x2 x3 if ..., c(n x4 m x5) col row

Is it possible to use putdocx for this type of tables?
If not, is there any way to export several tables like that one to a single Word, other than copy paste?

Thanks in advance.

You could try asdoc (from SSC)
For example

clear all

webuse byssin 
asdoc table workplace smokes race [fw=pop], c(mean prob) format(%9.3f) sc

Thanks for your help. It seems a very good way to go for tables. However, I have encountered some problems with the command. For instance, as it is in the asdoc help section example, it works perfectly, but if instead of one variable one stat, I ask for more than one variable stats it give error. For example:

. asdoc table workplace smokes race [fw=pop], c(m prob m sex) format(%9.3f) sc col row replace

r(3301);

If I erase the "row" total option, then there is no problem (unfortunately I need the row total).

Another problem I have seen is that if I only ask one stat for a single variable, then I can ask for the row total, but, the row total reported by Stata is not the same as the one placed in Word. For example:

. webuse byssin1, clear
(Byssinosis incidence)

. asdoc table workplace smokes race [fw=pop], c(n prob) format(%9.3f) sc col row replace

So , it seems it is doing the average, instead of what I asked for.

Have anybody encountered the same problem? If so, is there a solution for this? I would like to use this command since it seems very good and flexible.

Thanks in advance.
