If all the variables that end up as strings are numerical, Austin`s oneliner is the way to go. If there are strings that you want -encode-d - which is what your subject line made me think - apply my solution afterwards...

Subject: st: encode question


Dear all,

I have a dataset that I imported from Excel using insheet. However, many numerical variables (I have about 200 variables) are now showed as string variables. My question is the following: how can I transform each string variable into numerical one - and also replicate their names - without having to encode manually each one of them?

Thank you very much in advance for any help, I would very much appreciate it.

Arina
