Thanks so much - I was able to resolve the issue for Chad. But I have run into a different issue with Congo 2013.

The values from Tables A.2 & A.3 (needed to calculate A_h and M_h) are reported on the following "Departments". These "departments" do not match the geographic regions or "Provinces" reported in the data (v023 and v024) (note: v022 itself contains does not have value labels, but I noted that each stratum is located in a "Province" reported in v024.

Here are the "Departments" used in the official report:

"Département
Kouilou"
Niari
Lékoumou
Bouenza
Pool
Plateaux
Cuvette
Cuvette-Ouest
Sangha
Likouala
Brazzaville
Pointe-Noire


And here are the labels for v024

 label list V024:
           1 kinshasa
           2 bandundu
           3 bas-congo
           4 equateur
           5 kasai-occidental
           6 kasai-oriental
           7 katanga
           8 maniema
           9 nord-kivu
          10 orientale
          11 sud-kivu

Please, how do I match these two regional values together, so I can use the values from the report to help me calculate A_h and M_h?

Thanks again in advance for your assistance

- Yawo
