(Once more: please stop sending HTML 
on Statalist!) 

As you ask, I don't think you 
understand my suggestion correctly. 

I am not sure that I understand what
you mean by overlaps here, but if your 
table makes sense, my suggestion should 
too. 

More importantly, why not try it?

Nick - If I understand your suggestions correctly 
I don't think it will work for my case since the variables 
I would like in the rows of my table overlap so I can't 
turn them into categories of a single variable. 
Any other suggestions? Thanks Alexandra
