. How about something like this: sysuse auto, clear set obs `=_N+1' replace make="Made up" in l I've learned this from one of Nick Cox' posts, some years (?) ago. HTH, Ph On 3/23/2010 9:48 AM, Sripal Kumar wrote:
Hi, This might seem like a no brainer to some of you. I frequently run into the trouble where I need to add rows to a previous stata datasheet. When I copy rows from excel and try to add to an existing stata datasheet, it seem to wipe off the header and replace it with the the newly added first row. This happens even though I am adding data to say the 20th row. The newly inserted row will always replace the header. What am I doing wrong here? To explain it a bit better: My header in stata reads--no. of patients, dead etc. If I add an extra row from excel which has say 2345 and 2...this row deletes the header and the header will now read as 2345 and 2 instead of no. of patients, dead. thanks, Sripal. * * For searches and help try: * http://www.stata.com/help.cgi?search * http://www.stata.com/support/statalist/faq * http://www.ats.ucla.edu/stat/stata/
