Dear User,
Thank you for your question. If you are trying to replicate the "Percent of the household population who slept under an ITN net the previous night" you need to be using the PR file for your dataset. Based on your question it looks like you are trying to replicate the indicator in the HR file. Remember that in the HR file your unit of analysis (each row) is a household while in the PR file the unit of analysis is people/population.

To answer your question try replicating this indicator using the PR file. Also don't forget to restrict the indicator to those who slept in the household the previous night (hv103==1)



Thank you!
