“Option Data not allowed” using asdocx

Hi,

I’m trying to tab the frequencies of Countries (stored as string) in my dataset with Asdocx.
However, I receive the error “option Data not allowed” – does anybody know how to fix this?

Also, how can I use commas in my number format, e.g. 1,000 instead of 1000.

Thanks!

Daniel, please post data example using the dataex command so that I can replicate the problem at my end. If dataex is not installed, then you can install it from the SSC/

ssc install dataex
dataex

For simplicity, I used the auto dataset

The following code gives me the same error

clear
sysuse auto
(1978 Automobile Data)
asdocx tab make, save(Example.docx) replace

Then I get this message:
option Data not allowed
r(198);

Hope this makes it clear. In an related issue, how would I format the number like posted early (e.g. 1,000 vs 1000)?

Please update asdocx and re-try.

asdocx_update

The string issue should be solved. For reporting comma separators with thousands, use the option spe000. See example

sysuse auto, clear
asdocx sum, sep000 replace
