Beth:
-tabm- does a tabulation of multiple variables.  It doesn't show up  
for me either when I type -findit tabm- , but it does if I type -help  
tabm- (so, tabm is not an abbreviation of one of the six items that  
comes up in Martin's -findit- search).
The help file indicates that -tabm- uses options from -tabulate-, so  
you can display percentages rather than frequencies with something like:
*****
clear
sysuse auto
tabm for rep78, cell nofreq
**or all the %**
tabm for rep78, cell row col nofreq
******

What is -tabm-? Note you are supposed to tell the list where your
user-written stuff comes from. In this case, -findit tabm- throws up  
six
different possibilities...

Betreff: st: tabm with %'s
Hi there
Is there any way to get the same output as tabm but with percents
rather than counts?
I am compiling many tables from surveys that had matrices with likert
scales.  Example, rate how much you agree with each of the following
items on a strongly agree to strongly disagree scale.  It would save
me some time if there was a routine almost exactly like tabm but that
produced %'s rather than counts.
Sincerely-Beth
