How to create a professional table to word for thesis or for journal presentation

[Shamsudini Amidu]

Hi family,
I hope we are doing well?

I have a data that I want to present the descriptive statistics like frequency in Just one single table contains 2 or more variables.
Below is the command I tried using but it still presented the table as individual variable. this is the command I used.

asdoc tab1 b2 b4 c7 c8, append save(newsham)

I need your help to be able to produce just one table with 4 cariables.

Thank you.
Sham.
I attached the data example.

Assuming you are using version 18 (you are supposed to say what version of Stata you are using if it is not the current one)

dtable i.(Gender telfon schl)

The -dtable- command also includes many options that you can use to customize the look of the table.

It also has options for exporting to a variety of text-processing software packages.

Hi Clyde,
I am using Stata16 please
Thank you

[Clyde Schechter]

Going back to version 16, there were numerous official Stata commands for tabulating data, but none that would produce the kind of output you are looking for. There are a number of user-written commands that did this. The one I used to use back then was Mark Chatfield's table1_mc, available from SSC. I no longer remember the syntax for this command, but it is explained in the help file.

Alight thank you sir.
I have gone through.
I tried the command it works but in saving the table to word using the command generates an error that i find it difficult to understand. I read over the help but still not finding solution.
example


asdoc table1_mc, by( Gender ) vars( schl cat \ telfon cat) onecol nospace, save(shamdeen)
Gives an error ("invalid 'by')

However, if I run only the stata output command like below; it gives me the desire results.


table1_mc, by( Gender ) vars( schl cat \ telfon cat) onecol nospace

I do appreciate your guide.

Thank you once again.
Still trying to organize my self and get the version 18 though.
