Decimals Wealth Index [message #15210]

Hi,

I am working on GHANA DHS (1993,1998,2003,2008 and 2014). I noticed that, for instance, the wealth index scores for year 2008 are integers, how do you change them to decimal form? Or is it easier to convert the decimal scores to integers?

Thanks,

A response from Senior Data Processing Expert, Guillermo Rojas:
Quote:

Wealth index scores have 5 implicit decimals. That means that they have to be divided 100000.
