Hello Trevor,
Thanks for the guide in estimating maternal mortality rates/ratio. I think I am almost there. The attached file is the improvement I made concerning your earlier correction. I am wondering how you computed the "Unweighted Ns(Maternal Deaths & Exposure". On the table at the left. I got my exposure by Exposure (years) in the excel by running the following script

* EXPOSURE NUMBER OF YEARS BY AGE GROUP
tab agegrp [iw=expo*wt/12] if mm1 == 2

I also got deaths as shown on the excel by running:
* Deaths from table 15.4 - restict to maternal deaths
tab agegrp [iw=deaths*wt ] if mm1 == 2 & mm9 >= 2 & mm9 <= 6

I am actually trying to arrive at how you got your 107.
Based on the excel sheet, would you also say that the estimated mortality rate is 357? I was thinking that the value should be a ratio(fraction) instead of an absolute value as big as 357. Though, based on your values I got 355.
Please I will also want to find out how you got your TFR (7 years). Finally, I will need an assistance on how to get 95% CI for the maternal mortality rate/ration estimated value.
