Rachel <[email protected]>:
The -file- command is how I would approach this, but -estout- and
-xml_tab- from SSC are also well-suited to this type of task.
file open x using tmp.xls, write
global Datasets "dataset1 dataset2 dataset35"
foreach l of global Datasets {
use `l', clear
file write x _n `"`l'"' _n
foreach v of varlist var1-var3 var8-var11 var17-var25 {
su `v', meanonly
file write x _n "`v'" _tab "`: di %9.3g r(mean)'"
}
}
file close _all
!tmp.xls
