Anwar,
This is not a problem with -putexcel-, but rather of how to get the numbers you want out of the -tabulate- command. The matrices you are using are specific to -svy- but are not necessarily designed for using -svy- with -tabulate- in particular. I'm not sure why it is difficult to get weighted counts in this situation (or perhaps I'm missing something). One thing you can try is to run -tabulate- without -svy-:
. tabulate race [fw=finalwgt] if sex==1, matcell(y) matrow(x)
. matrix list y
. matrix list x
I'm not sure at the moment how to get the text values of race into a matrix. I will think about that some more and get back to you.
BTW, I'm not sure I understand the purpose of the two matrix commands right before the -putexcel- statement, since you don't refer to -x- and -y- in the -putexcel- statement.

Subject: st: Need Help using putexcel command for tabulate in survey setting
Hi Everyone,
I need help with exporting results from tabulate command by using putexcel command in survey setting
I have a survey datasets with a string variable.I am trying to perform oneway tabulation and use putexcel
My goal is to put the various string values (for the string variable) in column A and their weighted count in column B in excel sheet.
To demonstrate it, I am using the nhanes dataset and the
***************code Start*********************************
webuse nhanes2f, clear
decode race, gen(s_race) // we generate a string varaible for demonstration purpose
svy, subpop(sex): tabulate s_race, count missing format(%11.3g) // I wanted to use tabulate s_race
* Now I am trying to use the estimated results to put into the excel cells
mat x = e(b)'
mat y=e(Rows)'
putexcel A1=("STRING_VAR") B1=("COUNT") A2=matrix(e(Rows)') B2=matrix (e(b)') using results , modify
***************code End*********************************
* however , I get the excel file with following results.
STRING_VAR COUNT
1 0.095615161
2 0.025368614
3 0.879016225
However What I am looking for is something like
STRING_VAR COUNT
Black Weighted count of Black
White Weighted count of White
Other Weighted count of Other
Can anyone of the stata gurus in this forum help me getting the desired results. I thank you very much for your time and effort.
Thank you,
Yours Sincerely,
Anwar Dudekula
