Hello. I know this isn't technically a Stata questions but I figured I
may as well post it to the list since I got Stat/Transfer from Stata.
I am having trouble combining my files.
I am using the following command:
st> combine /users/xxxx/desktop/name_test/*.xls datamay29.dta
"-tTCABEvalTeamData"
The excel files I am using have 4 sheets, one of which is called TCAB
Eval Team Data. The TCAB Eval Team Data sheet has 45 variables.
When I run the command I get the following message:
Worksheet Page Name: TCAB Eval Team Data is invalid
The program proceeds to pick up 1 variable from the first sheet in
each of the 120+ excel files, not from the TCAB Eval Team Data sheet.
The following is the message it gives me:
Transferring to Stata: /users/xxxx/desktop/data20090529.dta
1 variables and 1 records read from /users/xxxx/desktop/name_test/T1001.xls
Worksheet Page Name: TCAB Eval Team Data is invalid
1 variables and 1 records read from /users/xxxx/name_test/T1002.xls
Worksheet Page Name: TCAB Eval Team Data is invalid
1 variables and 1 records read from /users/xxxx/desktop/name_test/T1003.xls
etc.
It seems that the -t command isn't reading the spaces in the sheet
name correctly.
I have tried -t2 (the sheet number) as well as "-tTCAB Eval Team
Data", "-tTCAB_Eval_Team_Data", and "-tTCAB@20Eval@20Team@20Data"
Has anyone else run into this problem? Any suggestions?
Thank you,
Joelle
