Hello Statalist
I occasionally process data that arrives from various locations in excel
files (n > 50) and that change from time to time. I use Stat Transfer
(v10) to convert these files to Stata (I am on v13MP) by including the
following line in a .do file:
cd "`dir'"
stcmd *.xlsx *.dta /y
I have found that this does create .dta files but *drops every 16th line
of data*. Just wondering if anyone else here had encountered this and if
this is something to do with Stat Transfer, Stata of excel? It is a bit
of a worry.
Dear Simon:
I copy below the information from the Transfer advertisement:
"Download a Stat/Transfer Demo
You can download a free demo copy of Stat/Transfer. You will get a
complete, functioning copy, except that one out of about every sixteen
cases will not be transferred. The complete manual can be downloaded as
a PDF file and is also included in the online help file.
When you decide to purchase Stat/Transfer, as soon as your order is
processed we will send you an activation by e-mail that will activate
your copy and allow you transfer all of your cases. We will also, if you
wish, ship a Quick Start manual and a CD."
