| Subject | st: Assign variable labels after importing data from Microsoft Excel |
| Date | Mon, 19 Mar 2012 20:30:27 +0200 |
Dear Statalisters,I need to import a Microsoft Excel sheet content (panel data) in Stata 12 that looks as follows: id time var1 var2 var3 .....
label_id label_time label_var1 label_var2 label_var3 ...1 1960 123 1234 234
...My problem is to use the values of the second row as value labels for the variable names in the first row. The - import excel - part is the easy one. I looked through the variable label management modules on the SSC archive and could't find an appropriate package to solve my problem. Thus, any help would be highly appreciated.
