Hi, 'm working with a data set of 58 variables and 795 observations. Most of the variables are categorical and I'm using the tab command to display frequencies.
Stata provides these results to 2 decimal places, but I would like to display them as whole numbers only or to one decimal point only. I want to ensure the calculation is done in stata rather than me rounding up which may lead to inaccuracies.

I am using the following commands:
tab lat
tab lat centre, column

I have tried the following format commands:
tab lat, column format(%9.1f)
tab alt, column format(%3.0f)

But I receive the error message "r(198)".

What command shall I use?

Example of data using dataex displayed below:
