Hi
,
I'm now trying to replace the two conditions.
If the variable is the string, replace var =="
OR if it is numeric replace
var=.
, but I don't know which one is the string or numeric because there is a lot of the variable in the data set.
Provided an example data set. I also use the following code, but it doesn't work. Please suggest to me.


foreach v of local
varlist
healthfac_yn
healthfac_num healthfac_age_1 healthfac_impv_type_1 healthfac_type_other_
1​​​​​​​{
capture confirm numeric variable `v'
if
!_
rc {
replace `var'="" if healthfac_yn==0 &
healthfac_num
!=.
}
else {
replace `var=. if



healthfac_yn==0 &
healthfac_num
!=.
}
}
