If I understand this correctly, your data structure 
is awkward at best for what you want to do. 

I'd try a -reshape-, after which things should be 
easier. 

gen id = _n 
reshape long v category_v , i(id) 
egen mean = mean(v), by(_j category_v) 
egen sd = sd(v), by(_j category_v) 
tabdisp _j category_v , c(mean sd)
