Sometimes a variable which takes sequential integer
values does not take all possible values that it could.
For instance, -myvar- may represent a survey response
on a scale of 1 to 5, but no respondents chose "3".
I would like to generate frequency tables for such variables
that include rows for the unused values. So
myvar | Freq. Percent Cum.
- ------------+-----------------------------------
1 | 37 17.54 17.54
2 | 169 80.09 97.63
3 | 0 0.00 97.63
4 | 5 2.37 100.00
5 | 0 0.00 100.00
- ------------+-----------------------------------
Total | 211 100.00
Now, I can see how to write the do-file, but I keep
putting it off in the hopes of finding some trick
(or existing program) that will do the job.
