Re: st: loop question

Basic technique is to _think_ your way through a loop at least twice.
Here the first time round -k- is set to 1 and so the first -save- is
skipped.
It is not clear that you need to work with -k- at all. The code seems
to reduce to
forval i = 1/37 {
forval j =2/5 {
import excel `i'_`j'_dieta, sheet("Sheet1") firstrow clear
save `i'_`j'_dieta, replace
}
}
Note that the -foreach- loop can be simplified to another -forval- loop.
