Twoway Line with categorical variables

[Fernando Bastidas]

Hi!

I'm working with a panel data set and I'd like to make a twoway line, so I can study the trends of a categorical variable, which are complaints. However, I really don't know how to do it. I'd really appreciate your help. Nivel is the variable that I want to graph, which values are from 1 to 5.

clear all
global path "/Users/fernandobastidasespinoza/Desktop/Universidad/CEP/Denuncias Ingresadas"
cd "$path"

import excel "Discriminación.xlsx", sheet("nivel_educacional_stata") firstrow

grstyle init
grstyle set plain

gen qdate = quarterly(time, "YQ")

format qdate %tq!Tq-CCYY
drop time

encode nivel,gen(nivel1)
drop nivel
rename nivel1 nivel
xtset qdate nivel

twoway (line denuncias qdate if nivel=="1") (line denuncias qdate if nivel=="2") (line denuncias qdate if nivel=="3") (line denuncias qdate if nivel=="4") (line denuncias qdate if nivel=="5")

Thanks!
