esttab format doesn't work

[Johny Willheart]

Hi guys,

im trying to modify a table with esttab, therefore I just want to have 2 decimals instead of 4.
I don't know how to modify the format but with esttab it occurs a bit harder for me than with the "estout, cells" command.
Both commands won't work:
-esttab m1 m2 m3 m4 m5, main(Mean [fmt(%9.2f)]) aux(SD)

-esttab m1 m2 m3 m4 m5, main(Mean [%9.2f]) aux(SD)

How do I need to use "fmt" in this case?

Thanks a lot

Perhaps

esttab m1 m2 m3 m4 m5, main(Mean %9.2f) aux(SD)

Without knowing (a) the commands whose estimates are to be tabulated, and (b) what you mean when you say the commands you tried "won't work", it is difficult to give more specific advice.
