Then I need to combine each solitary stata file into a single large panel file that includes each bank. I have never written a loop of this complexity before, and given the specific requirements and format I need my data to be in, I am unsure how to proceed.

Stata's best guess, however, may not be as good as the name a user would choose knowing Stata's naming restrictions. For example, Stata will make variable names using the first 32 characters of the variable name and use the rest for a label. If the first 32 characters are not unique, subsequent occurrences will be called var1 , var2 , etc. If you paste the data, the variable stub is var ; if you use insheet , the stub is v , so be careful writing do-files.
Stata completely ignores empty rows in a spreadsheet but not completely empty columns. A completely empty column gets read in as a variable with missing values for every observation.
It is best if the first row of data is complete with no missing data. If necessary, add a dummy row with every value present, and then once in Stata type. The missings command by Nicholas J.
Cox, which allows variables or observations that are all missing to be easily dropped, was published in Stata Journal 15 4. Type search dm for information on this command. With integer-like codes, such as ICD-9 codes or U. Social Security numbers, that do not contain a dash, leading zeros will get dropped when pasted into Stata from Excel.
One solution is to flag the variable as a string in the first line: add a nonnumeric character in Excel on that line, and then remove it in Stata. The missing leading zeros can also be replaced in a conversion to string with one Stata command line; for example,. The second argument on the right-hand side of this command is a format specifying leading zeros on conversion of nvar to its string equivalent.
For more details on formats, see format. Confirm the filename and location of the file you are trying to read. Use Explorer or its equivalent to check. For example, you may have inadvertently produced a file named filename. This naming is possible if you have an option checked in Windows Explorer under View , Folder Options to hide file extensions for known or registered file types.
Manually rename the file, or use the correct filename in your Stata command. You may also wish to uncheck this option to avoid similar mistakes in the future. Checkout Continue shopping.
