Thanks a lot for your reply. I merged KR with PR and did not remove the obs with missing HV005. I used it to calculate the estimates as presented in Table 10.1 of the final report. My estimates are matching except for the categorization according to Mother's Nutritional Status. I have tried more than 50 combinations but the estimates are coming out the same. I have attached a image for your reference.

I saw posts in the forums where it was mentioned that HA40 should be used. But with HA40 the number of valid obs is coming out to be 3 only (I don't know how). It was also mentioned in the posts that V445 and HA40 are the same variables but i found that they have different values for the obs. I tried using V445 for the estimates but they didn't match.

I applied all the filters as mentioned in the reports (Pregnancy(V213), Birth within 2 months(V222), Mother Interviewed(V015)). Can you please tell me what i am doing wrong here. Are the filters sufficient and right? Please tell me how to go forward with this.

Thanks in advance.
