I have the following code:
local date "September"
global dir `c(pwd)'
global files "A B C"
foreach x of global files {
import excel "${path}`x'_`date'.xlsx", sheet("1") cellrange(A3:O21) clear
generate Store="`x'"
save `x', replace
}
The problem is that not all my files have the date September
. Some have August
or May
.
How can I incorporate a solution for this in the above script?
The idea is that if September
is not found, the code would still run. However, instead of September
it would go for August
and if that fails, then May
.
