Tabulations

As with other Stata commands, we simply need to add asdocx as a prefix to the tabulation commands that includes tabulate, tab1, and tab2, etc. We can use the following options of asdocx to control its behavior. (1) replace / append (2) save(filename) (3) title(text) (4) fs(#)

One-way table

asdocx generally follows the syntax structure and options of the official tab command, but also offers an additional option of nocf to suppress the cumulative frequencies column of the tab command

Example: Base case

sysuse auto, clear
asdocx tabulate rep78, replace
Tabulation of rep78
Repair Record 1978 Freq. Percent Cumulative Freq.
1 2 2.90 2.90
2 8 11.59 14.49
3 30 43.48 57.97
4 18 26.09 84.06
5 11 15.94 100.00
Total 69 100.00
Notes:

Please note that replace is asdocx option to replace the existing file. If we were to write to the existing file, we would then use option append, instead of replace.

No cumulative frequencies

Notes:

Two-way table of frequencies

The official tabulate produces a two-way table of frequency counts, along with various measures of association. To export its output with asdocx, add asdocx as a prefix to the tabulate command.

One- and two-way tables of summary statistics

The option summarize() produces one- and two-way tables (breakdowns) of means and standard deviations.

Multiple-way tabulation (tab1)
