Combining two tables

[James Horton]

Hi,

I am currently creating some descriptive statistics for my thesis. I have created a table, but I would like to get two superrows into my table. I am struggling to know how to do it as I can only specify one content option. Please see below:

table region period1, c(mean f_yschool)

I've attached the table as a picture. I would also like to add the mean numbers of years schooling for males into the same table, next to the females for each region. Is this possible?

TIA.

I am struggling to know how to do it as I can only specify one content option.

I don't think so, try something like:

table region preiod1, contents(mean f_yschool sd f_yschool n f_yschool)

Also, regarding

but I would like to get two superrows into my table

it would be helpful to explain what is the final structure that you're looking for.

Hi Ken,

Thanks for your help! Sorry I didn't make it clear, I would like to be able to get male and female education mean years of schooling per period. Something that looks similar to below:

In my panel data male and female years of schooling are separate numerical variables, so I am not sure how to do it. All I've read about using the 'table function' to add another variable needs to be a categorical variable.

the above table can be done using the -table- command - when you have two column variables, as in your #3, then you need to use both a "colvar" and a "supercolvar" as per the syntax command in the help file; an example is shown (3-way table) towards the bottom of the help file; see
