/* What about those who had one to three antenatal visits?

I would keep those with less than four antenatal visits, and have 0-3 = "0", and 4-20="1" when using the example above... Please remember that the maximum number of visits is not always "20", hence you need to check the variable for your given country before deriving an indicator out of it... */

** Example: On Stata

recode m14 (0/3=0 "None or <4") (4/20=1 "4+") (98/99=5 "dk"), gen(anc)
ta anc v025 [iw=v005/1000000]
ta anc v025 [iw=v005/1000000], col nofreq

** If you're not interested in do not know or missing (98/99):

recode m14 (0/3=0 "None or <4") (4/20=1 "4+") (98/99=.), gen(anc)
ta anc v025 [iw=v005/1000000]
ta anc v025 [iw=v005/1000000], col nofreq
//now your universe (i.e. total) will be less than that in the report because you've excluded missing/do not know
