How do you combine categorical variables?

You do this by creating a new categorical variable based on the existing categorical variables you want to merge. The new categorical variable will automatically have the same categories as the categorical variables you are merging.

Can you merge two variables in Stata?

Merging two datasets require that both have at least one variable in common (either string or numeric). If string make sure the categories have the same spelling (i.e. country names, etc.). The common variables must have the same name. Explore each dataset separately before merging.

Can you have two categorical variables?

Data concerning two categorical (i.e., nominal- or ordinal-level) variables can be displayed in a two-way contingency table, clustered bar chart, or stacked bar chart.
