Re: st: -tabulate- looped over levels with -foreach-: how to count each subject only once, and display row percentages?

[Michael Barker <mdb96statalist@gmail.com>]

You might be able to accomplish this with the bysort prefix:

bysort Group: tabulate Gender Age, row

I'm not sure where Subject fits into this question, since it is not
mentioned above. Is it the same as Group?

For the row option, I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work. What
happens when you run the commands without the row option?

I think it is always useful to use display to make sure your macros
are really what you think they are:

qui levelsof Group, local(levels)
foreach l of local levels {
    display "Current Group is -`I'-"
    tabulate Gender Age if Group == `l', row
}
