AW: st: Suppress col total in tab2, tabout?

["Kaulisch, Marc" <kaulisch@forschungsinfo.de>]

Dear Maarten,

Thanks for your help. Your example was not exactly the table I had in my mind, but I guess this is the exsample I looked for.

sysuse auto, clear 
estpost tabulate rep78 foreign
esttab using "c:\temp\foo" , rtf replace ///
        cell("b colpct(fmt(2))") collabels(n %) ///
        unstack noobs ///
        nomtitle nonumber ///
        drop("Total:" "Domestic:Total" "Foreign:Total")


Is there an opportunity to add a second column variable?

I still guess it would be simpler and more intuitive to add functiontionality in the tabulate functions...

Marc

Is the example below getting close to what you are looking for?
To run it you'll need to install Ben Jann's -estout- package by typing in Stata -ssc install estout-

*---------------- begin example -------------------------- sysuse auto, clear estpost tabulate rep78 foreign esttab using "c:\temp\foo" , rtf ///
        cell(colpct(fmt(2))) unstack noobs ///
        nomtitle nonumber ///
        drop("Total:" "Domestic:Total" "Foreign:Total")  ///
*------------------ end example -----------------------------        

This example is an addaption of the examples you can find here:

Hope this helps,
Maarten
