Dear DHS experts,

I am trying to merge health facility dataset and provider dataset of Nepal SPA 2015. My unit of analysis is health facilities,so I have to consider health facility audit datasest as master data.
I used the command _merge m:1 facil using provider data, but I got the message -variable facil does not uniquely identify observations in the using data. Here 1:m command worked but it considered the provider as master dataset.
While I considered provider dataset as master dataset and used same command, it worked but I found many changes in the variables responses in health facility datasets.

So I would like to request how to solve this problem?

Best regards,
RK
