Hi
Im a bit lost.
Ive imported a stata13 file. When i try to make a simple
table(region[sex=1],type[sex=1])
i get something as
           type1 type2
region1 0 0
region2 0 0
region3 0 0

I don't know how to operate with the value labels.
Sex is defined as 1 as "Man" and 2 as "Female".
And region1 is 1, region2 is 2 and so on.
So, how can i make reference to the value and not the value labels when i
write down some condition or statement ?
I know is simple, but using the help for readstata13 didn't clarify it to
me.
Thanks for your help and time.
