Hi

I am trying to merge NFHS4 household and Individual datasets and I have tried all the options discussed in the previous thread on this topic but no success. This is what I get:

merge 1:m hv001 hv002 hv003 hv024 using "/Users/drvaishalipatil/Desktop/DHS datasets/RO1 India/RO12015sort.dta"

Result # of obs.
-----------------------------------------
not matched 1,280,793
from master 591,308 (_merge==1)
from using 689,485 (_merge==2)

matched 10,201 (_merge==3)
-----------------------------------------

The final numbers are wrong. I have tried 1:1, 1:1, m:1, and all different possibilities. Please tell me what am I doing wrong.
