Tabulation and Cross-tabs with asdoc
Exporting tables created by Stata commands such as tab, tabulate1, tabulate12, table, tabsum, tab1, tab2, and others to MS word is super easy with asdoc. As with other commands, we need to just add asdoc as a prefix to the tabulation commands that includes tabulate, tabulate1 tabulate2, tab1, tab2, etc. Since frequency tables in Stata can assume different structures, asdoc writes these tables from log files.
One-way table
Example: One-way table
sysuse auto, clear asdoc tabulate rep78, replace
Please note that replace is asdoc option to replace the existing file. If we were to write to the existing file, we would then use option append, instead of replace.
Two-way table of frequencies
webuse citytemp2, clear asdoc tabulate region agecat, replace
Example: Include row percentages
asdoc tabulate region agecat , nokey row replace
Note nokey suppresses the display of a key above two-way tables.
Example: Include column percentages
asdoc tabulate region agecat , nokey column replace
Example: Include row percentages, suppress frequency counts
asdoc tabulate region agecat, nokey row nofreq replace
One- and two-way tables of summary statistics
Example: One-way tabulation with summary statistics
sysuse auto, clear asdoc tabulate rep78, summarize(mpg) replace
Example: Two variables tabulation with summary statistics
generate wgtcat = autocode(weight, 4, 1760, 4840) asdoc tabulate wgtcat foreign, summarize(mpg) replace
Example: Suppress frequencies
asdoc tabulate wgtcat foreign, summarize(mpg) nofreq replace
Multiple-way tabulation (tab1)
tab1 produces a one-way tabulation for each variable specified in varlist.
Example: Multiple-way tabulation
sysuse nlsw88, clear asdoc tab1 race married grade, replace
Two-way for all possible combinations (tab2)
Example: Two variables tabulation with summary statistics
asdoc tab2 race south, replace
