Help needed desperately!!

[Guest]

I am trying to conduct a DiD study where I combine two differnet datasets. I have been working on my code for many hours now and it just wont give me a result (only error and chatGPT doesn't help) Can anybody help me if I give more information about my problem??

Welcome to Statalist!

Can anybody help me if I give more information about my problem??

While there many capable Stata users here to help, this community does not operate this way. Usually no one will come up and claim to be responsible for your question, so expect no response to this first question.

Do read the FAQ, especially section 12, to understand how to ask an easy-to-answer question in this forum. And when you post again, keep the question contained (address one issue at a time), and provide information that the FAQ suggests, including sample data, what you did (in Stata code), what is the error, and what is your end goal, etc.

Good luck.

Thank you for your response Ken! I am a complete beginner with Stata, struggling to get through my data course in uni and this forum was honestly my last resort. Would you like to help me?

Guest, Ken already helped you by letting you know how to get a useful response on this forum. You would be wise to follow his advice. This is not an appropriate place to find a personal tutor. If you want advice you should create a new thread and give detailed information about the specific problem you are having. Follow all of the advice in the FAQ, provide a data example, give us the code you've tried, provide any output or error messages, and give us a detailed description of the problem. If you aren't willing to do that, you should reach out to your instructor or a TA for help.

Guest:
see also https://www.statalist.org/forums/help#adviceextras #4 and the preference for real given and familiy names on this forum. Thanks.

Carlo Lazzaro "Guest" is usually a name assigned by the Statalist administrator when someone decides to leave the forum and requests that their identity is concealed. Otherwise the name would be clickable as leading to a member profile.

Thanks, Nick.
My mistake.

Just for a bit more context, #4 used to contain the original users name and was apparently edited by the admin.
