The answer is basically the same then (save a correction in my previous email noted below).

So, you could run:

****************
clear

input QuestionID   Condition str2  Answer
1     1         Y
1     1         N
1     1         N
1     2         Y
1     2         Y
1     2         N
2     1         Y
2     1         Y
2     1         N
2     2         Y
2     2         N
2     2         N
end


******
cap rm "test.xls"
levelsof QuestionID, loc(q)
foreach n in `q' {
  tabout Condition Answer ///
     if QuestionID == `n' /* I left this part out in the previous answ.*/  ///
   using "test.xls", append  ///
     c(freq row) h1(Question `n' )
        }
****************
