Dear Liz,

Thanks for the links, so far they have been helpful. I am using the IR file for the MIS 2014 Dataset for Malawi. I tried calculating % of pregnant women in the last 2 years by using the following commands in stata;

gen newage=v008 - b3_01
keep if b9_01==0
ta newage<24[iw=v005/1000000]

The total am getting is 940 pregnant women (See the table below). However, from the Malawi MIS 2014 final report Table 3.7, the total number of pregnant women the last 2 years is 945. Am I missing anything in my calculation?

newage Freq. Percent Cum.
