Hello All, I need to truncate a very large census file. I only need a few variables from the file so I am using the in sheet command with the variables I want read in listed in the command. However, the file still isn't loading. The error code I keep getting back is not helpful and the file is too large to open in Excel. The code I use is: insheet year quarter county earnhiras earnhirns hiras hirn using "qwi_la_se_county_naics3_all.csv", names The error I get is: too few variables specified error in line 4508597 of file Is there something else I can try? I really need to get at this data and ca= nnot for the life of me figure out what other command to use to pull out th= e specific data/variables I need.
