If you want to round to 4 digits, -help round()- will show you:
replace varY=round(varY,.0001)

if you only want to round numbers just below 1 to 1, then

replace varY=1 if varY>.9999 & varY<=1

Dear Statalistmembers,

I would like to know how to round the last number for
a continuous variable, such as income, to unity.
I&#8217;ll try to be more explicit whit an example;
supposing that the variable is like that:

N. Obs.    varY
1     0.003
2     0.045
3     0.050
.
.
2348   .9999986
2349   .9999986
2350   .9999986

 and I would like to round only the last 3 numbers to
1, what should I do?

Thank you!
Federica
