jamovi

How can dates be entered into Jamovi - if I export a Stata file with dates in there is no problem in that I get a column of numbers (so many days since day zero in Stata 1900 Jan 1st?) but is it possible to get dates into Jamovi displayed as eg 23/05/2019 but which can be used in calculations ie as an integer not text
Thanks

hi,

we don't (as yet) have a native date data type, but we can emulate it by having an integer data type (how many days since ...), and then add a label so that it displays as 23/05/2019 for example.

if you can send us a stata file with dates in it, i'll see about adding this.

with thanks

Thanks Jonathon
I attach a datafile (stata .dta converted to csv - it would not accept a .dta file type) with 2 date variables (dob & date1)
Many thanks for this

Dai

could you attach the .dta file?

with thanks

Hi Jonathon
The system will not allow me to attach a stata dta file but I could e mail it to you directly
thanks
Dai
