  • command fsum not display N(observation numbers)

    Dear all,

    I recently find this --fsum-- command very useful to display summary statistics. In it help file, we can select the statistics to be displayed using s(). However, I tried s(mean max min sd median), and I don't want N(number of observation) to be showed, but it still shows N, how can I get rid of it?


    2022/04/25 update:
    My original goal is to output selected summary statistics and display the variable using my own make name rather than the variable names defined in the dataset. Some command related to summary stats does not allow this, so I found this --fsum-- which allow you to display the variable label in stead of the variable name. Now I also find using --asdoc-- [option:label] we can also realized this function, and select the needed statistics which can exclude N if not wanted.
    But just out of curiosity, can --fsum-- not display N?

    Great thanks!

    fsum and asdoc are community-contributed commands from SSC, as you are asked to explain (FAQ Advice #12).

    Fred Wolfe, the author of fsum, is a member here but hasn't posted since 2014.

    I see options to show measures beyond the default but none to omit measures supplied by default.
