asdocx with mrtab

mrtab is a community-contributed package written by Ben Jann. mrtab tabulates multiple responses which are stored as a set of variables. Users of asdocx have requested the addition of support for mrtab. Beginning with version 2.1.9, asdocx will now support mrtab, allowing users to export mrtab tables to Word, Excel, LaTeX, or HTML.

A slightly modified version of mrtab is available on the asdocx website, which is automatically downloaded when a user first uses mrtab with asdocx. The modification is done to extract only the output matrix from mrtab and send it to asdocx, no other changes are made. Using mrtab with asdocx is simple; simply add ‘asdocx as a prefix to the mrtab command. Here are few examples of using mrtab with asdocx.

It’s important to note that both mrtab and asdocx have the option of title(). In the one-way tables, mrtab uses it to label the multiple response set, while asdocx uses it to print the table title. To avoid this conflict, the mrtab “title()” option is reset to cnames(), that is column name.
