I tried using the tabulate function but that generates dummy variables for all the countries, which is very cumbersome. Any ideas, other than retrying in excel? thanks a tonne! -Saudamini * * 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/ * * 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/
