Hi I am using the 2015 MIS survey for my dissertation however I having trouble merging the household dataset which is KEPR7ADT with the womens/individual dataset which is KEIR7A on STATA. Please can anyone let me know what to do , i have tried using the guidance provided on the dhs website but it did not work.
this is the code i used:

use "/Users/t/Desktop/Actual dataset/PR2.DTA"

rename hv001 v001
rename hv002 v002
sort v001 v002
save "/Users/Desktop/Actual dataset/PR2.DTA", replace

use "/Users/t/Desktop/Actual dataset/IR.DTA"
sort v001 v002

merge m:1 v001 v002 using PR2

I received the error message that the variables v001 v002 do not uniquely identify observations in the using data

I dont know what i did wrong as this is what the dhs guide says to do . Pls help

thank you so much,

toyosi
