Hey everyone, first post here so hopefully I'll get the format right.
I have a data set with cities as names e.g. "Atlanta", "New York", "Los Angeles", etc. These string data type names need to be converted into numerical codes. IPUMS has a list here: (https://usa.ipums.org/usa-action/var...#codes_section) but its not in any easy to use format. Does anyone know of a crosswalk that will convert between the two?
P.S. Using Stata 13.1
Thanks!
