Need help with formatting in asdoc

[Abdullah Shoeb]

I am having an issue with formatting the values in the table while using asdoc and tabstat. for example,

My samples were in millions so when I wanted to make a descriptive statistics table, the output file followed the default format %9.0g, regardless of what format command I added. the following code was giving me an exponential value like 4.828e+09 instead of the numeric value 4,828,000,000.

asdoc tabstat variable1, statistics( N mean ) format(%15.0gc) save(summary.doc) title(Sample Table)

if i use

  
 tabstat variable1, statistics( N mean ) format(%15.0gc)

I get the correctly formatted stata output with comma.

I would be grateful if anyone can direct me on how to correctly format numeric values in asdoc. Thanks.

Abdullah Shoeb asdocx allows to set different display formats for each column. Further, it allows to set different thousand separators, report comma instead of dot for decimal places, and use trailing and leading zeros.
