ETHIODATE: Stata module to provide Ethiopian Date Conversion Utilities

[Gutama Girja Urago]

Introducing ethiodate package

I'm pleased to announce the release of a new Stata package called ethiodate, now available on SSC. This package offers a fast, reliable, and user-friendly solution for converting dates between the Gregorian and Ethiopian calendar systems directly within Stata. It is powered by Mata, Stata’s fast, matrix-based programming language. This means that it provides lightning-fast date conversions and is lightweight, dependency-free, and simple to install.


Installation:

ssc install ethiodate

Commands:

to_ethiopian
to_gregorian

Documentations:

help ethiodate
help to_ethiopian
help to_gregorian

This package requires Stata version 10.0 or above and can precisely convert any date range.

That's great. It would be really helpful to have a Hijri-Gregorian converter.
