Hello,
I am Salvatore, happy to join the Stata Forum community.
I am a new user who recently started using Stata. For my thesis research, I am using panel data. At the time I imported this data on Stata all my variables has been converted to strings. Since my dataset consists of over 60 columns (due to the fact that I use six variables and 12 years-time period of 2021-2010), I would like to try to set up a loop that will allow me to convert all the strings to numbers without typing each code. Please help me and I will give every kind of information that would be helpful. The command I am trying to use is with foreach, but I don't know how to use it.
[foreach var...]
Thank you very much. Sorry for my mistakes in following the posting rules, but this is my first post and I am still learning. I apologize for not being able to use dataex, but Stata says "input statement exceeds linesize limit. Try specifying fewer variables" Hope you will understand.
Salvatore
