Export tabstat table into Latex

[Ruben Ruiz-Rufino]

Good morning,

This is probably a classic question but I really have not found a good answer to it. I would like to know a general method to export into LaTex a table of descriptive statistics generated by tabstat. I have tried solutions offered by eststo/esttab but they do not generate the table that I need. In particular, I need a table exactly as the example below shows:

sysuse auto.dta,clear

tabstat trunk weight length, statistics(N mean sd min max) columns(statistics)

    Variable |         N      Mean        SD       Min       Max
-------------+--------------------------------------------------
       trunk |        74  13.75676  4.277404         5        23
      weight |        74  3019.459  777.1936      1760      4840
      length |        74  187.9324  22.26634       142       233
----------------------------------------------------------------

As always, thank you very much.
Cheers,
Rubén

. sysuse auto, clear
(1978 automobile data)

. foreach var of varlist trunk weight length {
  2.     foreach stat in mean sd min max {
  3.         local stats "`stats' stat(`stat' `var')"
  4.     }
  5. }

.
. table (var) (result), `stats'

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                      |      Mean   Standard deviation   Minimum value   Maximum value
----------------------+---------------------------------------------------------------
Trunk space (cu. ft.) |  13.75676             4.277404               5              23
Weight (lbs.)         |  3019.459             777.1936            1760            4840
Length (in.)          |  187.9324             22.26634             142             233

After that you can use collect export to export it to LaTex
