Keep labels after gcollapse #56

Closed elektrotiko closed 5 years ago

elektrotiko commented 5 years ago

What would you like gtools to add or change (and why)? I would like to see an option, in the same spirit as the new "uselabel" in greshape, for gcollapse as well. It is really annoying that Stata's own collapse removes variable labels after collapse and it would be just wonderful if gcollapse would enable us to keep variable labels after gcollapse.

I think gcollapse already does what you want:

sysuse auto, clear
gcollapse price, labelformat(#sourcelabel#)
