Have questions?

Hop in the The Code Block Discord server and ask your questions!

I get a lot of e-mails with code and data files and now it is hard to keep track on who is requesting what. At least in Discord several people can answer your questions. This also helps document the problems for other people.

Exporting tables of categorical variables to Latex

Hello,

I have a number of categorical variables, and I want to export the percentage distribution of different categories under each to Latex. I'm able to export them for one variable at a time, but if we want to do that for all the variables in one go then how can we go about it (in the The-Stata-to_Latex Guide, you exported for a number of variables using tabstat, but tabstat doesn't allow frequencies as an option)?

Thanks

IV regressions

Hi.

I have first and second stage regressions and would like to combine them into 1 table. I tried PanelCombine but that didn't work.

In Stata 17,the command "streamplot new_cases date if date > 22400, by(region)" gets no result

Dear @ asjadnaqvi

I have run the example of streamplot,

streamplot new_cases date if date > 22400, by(region)

But there is no result,the default color is CET C6,So I modified the adofile,Now it works well.

if "`palette'" == "" {
		local mycolor "CET C6"
	}
	else {
		local mycolor `palette'
	}

Here it should be "CET C6",not CET C6.There should be quotes here,or it gets no graph.
