Export as CSV? Does Stata read those?

**FYIbiatches** · 04-07-2007, 09:32 PM

no i dont think so. i tried saving it as a text file (txt) beause stata can read ASCII files, but when i insheet it, all the numbers are taken as strings, not data...

also, lets say you have two sheets, one is quarterly data and the other monthly, how can you run math formulas between them when the monthly series have 3 data points to the quarterly's one.
