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

I opened BDIR81FL.dta in Stata and entered the following line:

tab v313 if v501==1 [iweight=v005/1000000]

Here is the result:

/index.php?t=getfile&id=2452&private=0

The results include the 54.7% given in table 7.1.1 for the mCPR. This is the standard way to get the mCPR. I wonder what you were doing differently for the other surveys where you say you were getting a match.

The Bangladesh surveys only include ever-married women in the IR file but that should not affect the calculation of the mCPR, which is defined for currently married women.
