re: st: Appending files using stat transfer
Hi,
I have a number (3000) of excel files that i need to convert to dta
files and i need to append them together. I can use the command
line interface of stat transfer and convert them and then write a
do file in stata to append them together. However i was wondering
if the same can be done in one go using stat trasfer. i.e to
convert the files and append them togther using the stat transfer
command line interface. I read it someplace and had book marked the
page unfortunately the bookmark has disappeared!
regards
rajesh
The author of stat transfer will answer questions about adding or
missing features. Nice guy.
I have stat transfer and don't remember reading this, but I can't say
I've read the manual recently.
With lots of Excel files maybe you would be better off batch
transferring your Excel files to Excel XML files, and then using
Stata 9's "xmluse" command with "append".
