House hold sample weight [message #10619]

Hello,
I am working on 2014 Kenya dataset. When I run univariate frequency using the Women's individual sample weight variable (V005), I am getting frequencies with decimal points. For example Urban 12690.37, Rural 18388.63 cases.
However, the total number matches with the report. I am a bit confused in reporting the number (univariate frequency) in the manuscript because univariate frequency for individuals can't be a fraction.

Please suggest how can I deal with this issue.

Note: I created a new weight variable dividing the original variable (v005) by 1000000.

Regards,
Muhammad Abdul Baker Chowdhury
