Making a Table 1

Making a Table 1

by Faby -

Hi, 

I'm have a difficult time constructing a basic Table 1 for my final project. I've tried various commands- table, tabstat.. but none of them seem to be working. I have one variable that I would like to generate the columns with and multiple variables I would like to display as the characteristics of my sample. 

Is there a way to do this all at once on Stata? Or do I just make my table on word and fill it in using a basic crosstab of each variable? 

Thank you in advance, 

Faby

Hi Faby, 

Did you try using the "bysort varname:" prefix for table or tabstat?

check out the syntax for tabstat we used in lecture 7 for our table 1. 

You will have to copy this into excel and may need to restructure the columns into rows

For the final project, are we allowed to just manually type the values into Excel? For instance, I'm not sure how to incorporate my chi-square p-values for some of the variables into the tabstat command. 

Thank you!

Yes! Just remember to show the commands for how you generated the chi-squared statistics and p-values in your .do file.
