I ‘ve some problems  performing Friedman test on STATA 11.
The STATA command help suggests to xpose, clear data and then to write friedman v?
In this way I obtain :

friedman v?
Friedman =  22.7333
Kendall =    0.8420
P-value =    0.0000

With  the form v1-v26 I obtain as result:

friedman v1-v26
Friedman =  59.5731
Kendall =    0.7638
P-value =    0.0000

Performing the same Friedman test with R and with Primer of Biostatistics I obtain a third result:
Friedman = 68.233
P-value =    0.0000

I’m a bit confused, could anybody help me?

You can download the user-written command -emh- from SSC, which can perform Friedman's test, among other things.  The syntax for its use in Friedman's test is shown in the do-file below, which uses your dataset.  The results match those of R and the primer.
