Subject: st: Labeling Min and Max Values
Hi all:
A pretty straightforward question, but how does one label corresponding Min
and Max values (using tabout or another tabulate command).
Let's say I have a list of 50 countries and corresponding GDP growth rates,
over time. I would like to use tabout to label the local minimums and
maximums, and indicate the corresponding country name for each given year.
Any tips on how to set this up?
Many thanks,
Lauren
