Thanks so much for your response! Just to clarify, then, that would mean that a value of 0 on variable v629 (Ideal number of either sex), does NOT necessarily mean that the respondent would like 0 children. Instead, it means that the respondent simply did not provide a response for v629, but rather only provided a response for v627 and v628?

If this is the case, then why are these non-responses labeled as 0 rather than just missing? And is there any way to find the respondents who actually said they would ideally have 0 children?
