Exporting HH is dropping many records

Post by emilywilson »

Hi,

I'm using CSPro 5.0 to export a data set (One File, All in One Record, Both Items and Subitems) into Stata. I end up with a very reasonable seeming data set when I include the entire dictionary consisting of a Household and a Women's questionnaire. However, when I try to export just the HH variables I end up with something that seems much too tiny (about a tenth of the occurrences that I'd expect). Any ideas as to what I might try?

I saw in another post that someone emailed their dictionary and .txt file to khurshid.arshad@gmail.com, so I've also done that.

Thank you,
Emily

Dear Emily

You are facing this problem because there are so many duplications of QID under ID items
QID number of observation
131023 10
131025 8
21141 7
131022 6
21137 6
21140 6
21142 6
131020 4
