Hi,
I have a question relating to "." being not applicable. I am working with a few datasets, using among other variables the body mass index. I cannot find an explanation to why there are observations where bmi is noted as "." in so many datasets. Moeover why some datasets label the whole variable as not applicable
Many thanks,
Maren
