Hoping this isn't too obvious, but I cannot figure out how to fill-in rows
for response values that do not appear in my data but do exist
hypothetically.
Imagine a variable, call it q5, that has possible responses 1, 2, 3, and 4;
let it be a simple Likert scale for example. The trouble is if survey
respondents only endorse/check values of 3 or 4, then my table will look
like this
. tab q5, nolab
|
q5 |
| Freq. Percent Cum.
------------+-----------------------------------
3 | 14 24.14 24.14
4 | 44 75.86 100.00
------------+-----------------------------------
Total | 58 100.00
But what I want is (something like) this, which I made the "hard-way" via
cut/paste
q5 |
| Freq. Percent Cum.
------------+-----------------------------------
1 | 0 0.0 0.0
2 | 0 0.0 0.0
3 | 14 24.14 24.14
4 | 44 75.86 100.00
------------+-----------------------------------
Total | 58 100.00
In this example the hypothetical values of 1 and 2 are represented, which is
nice if I want to apply value labels and such for presentation.
I've looked at -tabcond- and a few other adaptations but cannot find what I
want -- I do not seem to understand -tabcond- if that would do the trick.
Solutions?
