I am attempting to create a descriptive statistics table for my thesis. However, I found that variables with large numbers are displayed using the scientific notation.
In my attempt to change it, I read many FAQ's and other discussions about this problem, but none of these options seemed to work for me.
The data type of the variables is
Code:
double
Code:
sum var1
    Variable |        Obs        Mean    Std. Dev.       Min        Max
-------------+---------------------------------------------------------
      var1 |     12,286    1.18e+09    2.21e+10   .0223229   7.71e+11
format var1 %24.0f
sum var1
    Variable |        Obs        Mean    Std. Dev.       Min        Max
-------------+---------------------------------------------------------
      var1 |     12,286    1.18e+09    2.21e+10   .0223229   7.71e+11
recast float var1, force
var1:  12072 values changed
sum var1
    Variable |        Obs        Mean    Std. Dev.       Min        Max

tostring var1, gen(var1s) format("%17.0f")
var1 cannot be converted reversibly; no generateKind regards,
