thank you David!! everything is much easier with videos. Stata manuals are hard to digest

[@raphaelriviere2506]

THANK YOU SO SO SO MUCH for this video. It has simplified and clarified these essential basic steps to organizing data that I simply could not understand from the manual. Brilliant. Thank you.

Hi David,
why did u create a new label at the very end of the video for the recode command at the end of the code called label(eff_lbl)?
Thanks!

Hi David, thank you for your videos. For this example de link is not working.

[@DavidBraudt]

The link in the video description should be working... at least it, and the link to the .do file (once you click the link above) on my personal page worked for me just now.

i imported database to Stata, but numbers are blue. if i kept it, does it matter to my results? should i change it into black?

[@DavidBraudt]

Blue indicates a value label, not a string variable (indicated by red), so yes, your results will be based on the numerical values underlying the blue value labels.

[@billowabdi6346]

Your variables with numbers are store as string variables, destring them and that will be sorted

Hi, When I trying to follow it up and using byu data link in stata, its showing me connection time ran out, also when I am trying to open that page on chrome, its not opening, so does that mean data has been moved from byu website ?

[@DavidBraudt]

Try the link in the comments again and let me know if it still has issues.

[@vishubhatnagar8638]

@@DavidBraudt Hi David, I again follow each step and still I am getting the same error: connection time ran out

[@DavidBraudt]

The connection error is on BYU's end. I thought you were asking about the link in the video description

[@vishubhatnagar8638]

@@DavidBraudt So David, the error is like temporary or it will be rectify soon ?. Also in the rest of the follow up videos, its showing same kind of error.

[@jacquelinerenee3675]

How do I recode a string to a numeric?

[@DavidBraudt]

with the "destring" command... e.g., destring varname

[@jacquelinerenee3675]

The problem is that the data is D and S but I need to be able to run drop all data points without an S
