- I have Stata IC 10
- I converted string variable in numeric variable by using -encode-
I did this:
encode country, generate(countryid)
I got:
countryid
Ghana
Togo
Nigeria
Benin
Norway
France
etc..
What I want to have is the numerical value that correspond to the countryid
i.e.
countryid
1
2

4
5
6
etc
