Hello,
I am wondering if there is a way to "merge" variable labels and notes
from an external file (e.g. a csv or dta).
In other words if my data looks like:
age | inc | educ |
------------------
43 | 14.3| 12|
24 | 38.2| 18|
...
And I want to, effectively, do the following:
lab var age "Age"
notes age "In years"
lab var inc "Income"
notes inc "Measured in thousands of dollars (yr 2000)"
etc.
But I want to use an external table I made that looks like this:
Variable | Label | Note |
-----------------------------
age | Age | In years |
inc | Income | Measured in thousands...
educ | Education | Measured in years of ed...
Is there a way to do this in Stata? Also, is there a way to rename
variables or label values in a similar way?
Thanks for any help you can provide.
Brian Karfunkel
