Subject: st: formatting for significant figures
hi all,
Stata 8.2,
Is there a way to format numericals results for significant figures. For example:
. sysuse auto
. gen trite=price/1000000
. l trite in 1/10, clean
trite
1. .004099
2. .004749
3. .003799
4. .004816
5. .007827
6. .005788
7. .004453
8. .005189
9. .010372
10. .004082
How can I format trite to display just 2 (or any number in general) significant figures? I looked at [R] Format, [U] 15.5, help format, searched the list using 'signifcant figures' and Googled 'stata significant figures' but without success. Appreciate advice/help.
Regards,
bw
