Re: st: Export lists to excel

Here are two of many ways you could do this 

** A ***
sysuse auto, clear
keep if rep78 == 1
keep make price mpg rep78
export excel using test_excel



** B (shorter) **
sysuse auto, clear
outsheet make price mpg rep78 using test.txt if rep78 == 1, comma


B may be easier if you are exporting many "lists". It creates comma delimited text files that can easily be opened in MS Excel (or word processors)

Hope this helps

Ronnie

PS: If your final goal is to move the "lists" from excel to word, you should look at -listtex- (ssc install listtex)
