Decimal points for the percentages and p-values in table1 template | asdocx

Dear Attaullah,

Hope this finds you well.

A quick question today – I have used the code below to test the output as I would like to use this type of table for a report:

webuse nhanes2b, clear   

asdocx  tabulate diabetes i.agegrp ,  template(table1) ///
 col dec(1) dect(1) format(%3.1f) replace 

However I can’t seem to get percentages with one dp only?

Is there anything I am missing? I read the help file but could not find info about this.

Thanks in advance!

Best regards,

I forgot to change a macro in the table1 template, this is why dec() and dect() had no effect on the output. I have fixed that. You can update to the beta version and test it. To update, please type:

asdocx_update, beta mlib

Here is an example where I would like to report 4 dp for the p-values and 1 dp for the percentages.

asdocx  tabulate diabetes i.agegrp ,  template(table1) ///
 col dec(1) dect(1) replace 

Table 1: Demographics

Variables	Not diabetic (n=9850)	Diabetic (n = 499)	Total (10349)	P-value
Age group				0.0000
20–29	2305 (23.4%)	15 (3.0%)	2320 (22.4%)
30–39	1600 (16.2%)	21 (4.2%)	1621 (15.7%)
40–49	1229 (12.5%)	42 (8.4%)	1271 (12.3%)
50–59	1219 (12.4%)	72 (14.4%)	1291 (12.5%)
60–69	2622 (26.6%)	238 (47.7%)	2860 (27.6%)
70+	875 (8.9%)	111 (22.2%)	986 (9.5%)
P-values by t-test for continuous variables and Chi2 test for binary/categorical variables.
