| Subject | st: Problem with "insheet using" command |
| Date | Fri, 11 Jun 2010 12:12:27 -0400 |
I used the following command to import data from an Excel spreadsheet: insheet using "c:\my documents\y98.csv", comma However, when I use the describe command to check my summary statistics I get "O" for the number of observations. My guess is that all my data is being read in as strings (the spreadsheet has columns with numbers and and columns with letters). * * For searches and help try: * http://www.stata.com/help.cgi?search * http://www.stata.com/support/statalist/faq * http://www.ats.ucla.edu/stat/stata/
