Many Thanks for the detailed reply.

I agree with you, I should start with one data set first.

I read your points and I have a question:-

Point 3 says:-
3) You should know that each individual data set includes its own weight so you should be weighting data even if you are only analyzing one survey.

So, for example if I use only Egypt for year xxxx, I don't think I need to use weights. But if I use Egypt and Sudan for the same year, same survey, then I need to worry about weight. Is this what you meant?

Thanks once again..!!!
