Re: st: AW: combining frequency tables

[Shehzad Ali <sia500@york.ac.uk>]

Thanks, Martin, but -estpost- doesn't allow me to use -mdesc- and 
-nmissing- as subcommands, perhaps because these are user written 
programmes. Also -estpost- only allows use of -by- as an option and not at 
the start of the command which means I can use only one variable with -by-.

I don't mind using Stata's built-in commands if it can tabulate missing 
values for me.

Any thoughts?

Thank you,

Shehzad
