Hello,
I'm frustrated because I can't make Stata destring few variables.
In the first case there are only long numbers in a variable of which I already replace "NA" to missing. However, Stata still says that there arenonmumeric characters. Is there a way to check out where such nonmumericvalues are?
In the second case, Stata converted exponential numbers to string, so when I asked to destring it also say there are nonmumerical characters. Does anybody have a clue on this?
Thanks,
Marie
