You can nest those -cond()-s, see

Betreff: Re: AW: st: round () if
Thank you, Jeph and Martin. This was really helpful.
To add further, is it possible to add another condition to round off weeks
0 and <1.5 to become 1 instead of zero while keeping the previous
condition alive?
Regards,
Shehzad

Good solution, and in one line. Careful with 1 and 2, though. Does Ali
really want them to become zero?
*************
clear*
set obs 30
gen weeks=_n
gen newweek=cond(abs(round(week,12)-week)<=2,round(week,12),week)
list

Assuming your week is integers
gen newweek=cond(abs(round(week,12)-week)<=2,round(week,12),week)
should do.

Hi listers,
I want to round a variable 'week' if it is within 2 weeks range of
multiples of 12 week. So 10 weeks should become 12 weeks while 9 weeks
should not change. Similarly 21 weeks would not change while 25 weeks
will change to 24 weeks. Is there a way to do it in Stata using -round-
or other command?
Thank you,
Shehzad
