Dear Statalisters:

I have a sample with 403 companies and 822 observations (several years per company). I would like to report the 403 figure in a matrix (to export it later in  a table). 

With the following command,
codebook name if country=="GBR" & post_ifrs==1 & ib_scaled!=. & ib_scaled2!=. & sample_sum==1
I get the correct figure for unique values (403). However, I don't find this figure in the return list.

With -tabulate- and the following command:
tabulate name if country=="GBR" & post_ifrs==1 & ib_scaled!=. & ib_scaled2!=. & sample_sum==1

I get the correct figure in the return list: r(r)

I then tried the following command with -makematrix- (downloadable from ssc): 

makematrix c1, from(r(r)) label listwise: tabulate name if country=="GBR" & post_ifrs==0 & ib_scaled!=. & ib_scaled2!=. & sample_sum==1

I get an error message: too many values.

Would you have an idea about how to get the 403 figure in a matrix?

Best regards

Herve Stolowy
