Hi,
I am trying to reproduce results in Table 7.13 Future use of contraception using the following syntax

use "KEIR71FL.dta", clear
gen fp_future_use = v362 
replace fp_future_use=5 if fp_future_use==9
replace fp_future_use = . if  (v502!=1 | v312!=0)
label values fp_future_use V362
ta fp_future_use [iw=v005]

The challenge is how the Missing category was created. Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

Following is a response from Senior DHS staff member, Tom Pullum:

Table 7.13 in the Kenya 2014 final report is like table 6.5, in that it has a spurious "missing" category that you will not find in other final reports. Somehow, during data processing, someone apparently re-classified about 30 cases that were Not Applicable (NA) on v362 as "missing". Frankly, I think it would be a waste of your time to try to find out how or why they made this mistake. I have looked into all the variables that went into the construction of this table. None of them have any "missing" codes or cases. What you did seems to me to be correct.
