In Mata, yes. In Stata, no; use string variables or string scalars or
macros.

Tanks Martin, it works fine.
Another question.
Is it possible to store names in a matrix for example "east", "west",
"north", "south" and then display the one that I want, for example the
3:rd
element "north"?

Those two missing column totals should read "4500" and "1000", I guess.
Ben`s -ssc d estout- may be helpful for you:
webuse nhanes2b, clear
capture which estout
if _rc ssc install estout
estpost svy: tab race diabetes, col

di _b[Total:Black]
di _b[Total:Other]

This syntax-
svy : tabulate area kon , count
produces a table like this (with 4 rows shown (fake data)).
area men women Total
--------------------------
aa 1200 1300 2500
bb 1100 900 2000
cc 4500
dd 1000
--------------------------
Total 10000
Key: weighted counts
Is it possible to divide all rowtotals with "totaltotal" (10000) and
store
all these values in a matrix for later use?
How can I display a specific element of the stored values?
