Hello,

I'm trying to merge the child, household and wealth file into one file for analysis.
What have I done so far is to use country code and phase, cluster number and household number to merge the child and household file together.
Then, I use the household id number to merge the child&household file with the wealth file.

Whenever I do this, I lose the variables I need from the wealth file. I've been working on this for a few months now and still cannot figure out what's wrong.
I've tried merging the files different ways and I still lose variables that I require to do my analysis.

Thanks,
Charmaine
