Hey. I have a data set with character variables. The values for the variable are numbers, ' ' (empty, as character missings should be), but there are also other kinds of missing values (eg. '...', '.. .' ' .') I would like to make a format which for these different values take changes the values to : number --> 'numbers' and let all observations which are not numbers stay the same. That will make it possible for me to find the different kind of missing values. I hope you understand and have a good idea to how to create this format. If you have questions, just ask Best regards, Silas Skovsbo, Aarhus University, institute of economics.
