Hello,

You're very welcome. Glad I could help.

For working in R, what I know is that you would need to use the survey package and supply the weight (v005), PSU(v021), and strata (usually v023) to the survey command in R to produce the correct estimates if you are producing confidence intervals. If you only are producing the percentages then you only need to use the weight. In that case you can still use the survey package but only supply the weight or use some other packages for weighted tables. You can check how we do this in the R code available on GitHub and check the main file for the packages needed that are listed at the top, then the table file for how we tabulate the variables.

Good luck with your research.

Best,
