Re: st: Mergining horozontally excel files under a particular patern

[Scott Merryman <scott.merryman@gmail.com>]

Something like:

clear
tempfile tmp
local j = 1
forv i = 39(-1)1 {
	import excel "C:\Users\scott.merryman\Desktop\Book1.xlsx",
sheet("Sheet`i'") firstrow clear
	if mod(`i',3) !=0 {
		qui merge 1:1 _n using `tmp', nogenerate
		save `tmp' ,replace
	}
	else {
		save `tmp', replace
	}
	if mod(`j', 3) == 0 {
		save gr`i', replace
		local j = 1
	}
	else {
		local j = `j' + 1
	}
}
