Thanks for this!

[@abdullahrabaya9235]

Thank you Abu Baker for sharing an interesting way. My data is numerical but when I import it to Stata, they become read (string). when I apply your method so all values become missing. May you share your opinion regarding this matter?

[@earningsmanagementestimati6028]

If you want, share your data with me via email, i will check it for you.

Hey! Im desperately in need of your help!!! My data set is string daily (without the weekends)
I've tried formatting the data using the command: generate time=date(date, "MDY") but it keeps responding with "missing values generated".
Please help me i've tried everything and nothing works. My data is 01/01/1991 (MDY) and its called date but i dont know why it isnt working

[@prometijs]

After I made that command I got a message "X contains nonnumeric character; replaced as long (123 missing values generated") My data set is from CSV file with numbers. What shoud I have to do?

[@earningsmanagementestimati6028]

Hi
You have to check back these cells which have missing values. Maybe they have some letters. Only cells with numbers will be converted to numeric value.

@@earningsmanagementestimati6028 Hi,
Thanks but everything works fine right now. Problem was simple - my data set has comma but STATA likes dots :)

[@earningsmanagementestimati6028]

That is good, so the is problem identified!

[@yubiee731]

sir,,,my data not change to numeric but it dissapear

[@earningsmanagementestimati6028]

Is your data numeric?

[@yubiee731]

@@earningsmanagementestimati6028 it said the data already numeric....but it still red

[@earningsmanagementestimati6028]

Don't forget to tick the box "charge non-numiric to missing"

[@countingstars3423]

your approach has a lot of "missing values generated"?

[@earningsmanagementestimati6028]

I don't understand what you mean?

[@jeroenr.2737]

for me it does not work. I lose my data as it changes to dots. Anyone that might know how to solve this issue?

[@earningsmanagementestimati6028]

You should keep a copy of your data before any step you take

[@earningsmanagementestimati6028]

This works for numeric data

[@jeroenr.2737]

@@earningsmanagementestimati6028 but when I paste my data again in the editor it is string again and not numeric. Need to keep my data and the data to be numeric
