Dear All,

I am trying to merge the KR and BR files but I keep getting this error message even after following steps in previous "Merge threads".

Error: variables hv001 hv002 hvidx do not uniquely identify observations in the using data.

Syntax:
use "E:\NDHS 2013\ngkr6adt\NGKR6AFL.DTA", clear

. ren v001 hv001

. ren v002 hv002

. ren b16 hvidx

. sort hv001 hv002 hvidx

. save "C:\Users\Somefun\Desktop\Working Papers\Child Health Outcomes\KR.dta", replace
file C:\Users\Somefun\Desktop\Working Papers\Child Health Outcomes\KR.dta saved

. use "E:\NDHS 2013\ngpr6adt\NGPR6AFL.DTA", clear

. sort hv001 hv002 hvidx

. merge 1:1 hv001 hv002 hvidx using "C:\Users\Somefun\Desktop\Working Papers\Child Health Outcomes\KR.dta"
variables hv001 hv002 hvidx do not uniquely identify observations in the using data
r(459);

Thank you.
