Hi,
Sorry about that. I should have searched the posts...
Both methods works perfectly. My first posting was however not 100%
correct. In addition to Id1 and Id2 I have several other variabels in
the dataset. When I run the code you suggested for me the other
variabels stays the way they were before.
Eg
Id1 Id2 Gender
1 2 Male
2 4 Female
3 5 Female
4
5
Then i run the code:
levels Id2, local(levels)
replace Id2 = .
foreach l of local levels {
qui replace Id2 = `l' if Id1 == `l'
}
And the result is:
Id1 Id2 Gender
1 . Male
2 2 Female
3 . Female
4 4
5 5
I would like the variabel 'Gender' to follow Id2
Eg.
Id1 Id2 Gender
1 . .
2 2 Male
3 . .
4 4 Female
5 5 Female
I have tried to modify your code, but I cannot make it work...
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Nick, did you get any results on your post 'MS software and Stata: a
proposal', tips and tricks for exporting Stata results into MS Office
applications? If not, I can try to make a FAQ like you proposed.
Best regards,
Alexander Severinsen

The same question was asked on 8 April,
so here is the same answer:
