Hi,
First of all, thank you so much for explaining the data (which is the issue about Column V in the attachment).
And Yes, I have relabelled MR61 as MR62 and also other files when I combine them.
But what I really wanted to ake is why the data's filename does not match the actual data in the dta.file.
For example, Ethiopia (Row1), the filename is "Ethiopia: Standard DHS, 2011", but after I downloaded it and open the data file in the STATA, you will find the survey year is 2003.
Also, Burundi should only contain a one-year dataset if based on the filename, but the actual data contains a two-year dataset.
Another example, the Chad(Row 8), the survey phase in My Dataset Account is presented as VII (also can tell from the extracted filenames), but when you open the data in the STATA, the survey phase showed as TD6.
Thank you^^
