Thank you, I was wondering if you could help me with another issue I'm coming across. I followed the video, but am still receiving an error that variables "do not uniquely identify observations in the master data". I am using the following code

use "D:\Raw data sets\Albania\Albania 17-18 HH Raw\ALPR71FL.DTA"
*Merging HH and CHild dataset using "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SJkJmtgaqBc"
drop if hc60>12
rename hvidx c_line
rename hv001 cluster_line
rename hv002 hh_line
rename hc60 mom_line
order c_line cluster_line hh_line mom_line
save "D:\Raw data sets\Albania\Albania 17-18 HH Raw\Albania 17-18 Merge.DTA", replace

use "D:\Raw data sets\Albania\Albania 17-18 Raw\Albania 17-18 Raw.DTA"
drop if b16==0
rename b16 c_line
rename v001 cluster_line
rename v002 hh_line
rename v003 mom_line
order c_line cluster_line hh_line mom_line

merge 1:1 c_line cluster_line hh_line mom_line using "D:\Raw data sets\Albania\Albania 17-18 HH Raw\Albania 17-18 Merge.DTA"

Do you know what could be the issue? Btw i tried looking at other posts, but couldn't find any with this issue. Thank you!
