Hi All,

I'm using STATA 15.

My question is how do I convert and then format a datetime variable (current type: double, format: %tc) properly so I can create a scatterplot where both axes show certain mm/yy?

My code is below. Please let me know if I can provide better/additional info! Thank you so much

Code:
format firstr_birth %td
format secondr_birth %td
graph twoway scatter secondr_birth firstr_birth, ///
legend(off) mcolor(black) ///
ytitle("Date of first live birth during follow-up round") ///
xtitle("Date of first live birth at baseline")  ///
title("Plot of dates of first live birth as reported during baseline & follow-up rounds", color(black)) ///  
graphregion(color(white)) ylabel(, grid glcolor(gs14))
My graph currently looks like the below
