Import excel "/Users/Rob/Documents/Participant data list_no format.xlsx", sheet("All_data") firstrow clearīOOM! Everything works as it should problem solved. I removed that, popped the firstrow option back in:
So then I noticed the other option that was different is case(lower). Import excel "/Users/Rob/Documents/Participant data list_no format.xlsx", sheet("All_data") firstrow case(lower) clear Import excel "/Users/Rob/Documents/Participant data list_no format.xlsx", sheet("All_data") clear When I import the workmap with selecting "Import first row as variable names", the import works fine, but the variable names are not as I want them. Can someone confirm that this is the case, with the new information I provided? This leads me to believe it is definitely something with the labels. The difference is that the labels are given by stata if the chosen variable name cannot be used (when in duplicate for example).
I just tried Joseph's recommendation again, this time while selecting the "use labels as column header" instead of "use variable names as column header". "if the varname is invalid, exit the function".

I also don't think the error code reads that "if" is an invalid varname, it simple quoted the script which has an if-function, which more literally reads: There are Three "if" in the entire document: In "shiftwork1", "shiftwork2" and "disqualify". Why does Stata no longer import the file via the Excel data import? Has the maximum file size or column-width for imports been reached? Is there a away around it?
