Hi Sarah,
Please disregard my comment about more values being available in Statcompiler. I realize now that the person who compiled my spreadsheet just didn't pull data for all of the countries.
In terms of the discrepancies, I put together a spreadsheet comparing data points across the three sources I mentioned: the Nutrition 2010 update, DHS final report and Statcompiler and have attached it to this post. These were just the three countries I looked at first, and as you can see, the data points from the Nutrition 2010 report and the DHS final reports match one another. However, in all cases, the statcompiler value is different from both the Nutrition 2010 report value, where available, and from the DHS final report value.
In my work, I have to pull values for multiple countries and multiple survey years at a time, so I would prefer to use Statcompiler as a source for this indicator when possible instead of going through each final report, but in order to do that, I would have to understand why the Statcompiler data is different from values reported in the DHS final reports and the Nutrition 2010 report, so I can decide if it is worthwhile.
Thanks so much for your help with this. I really appreciate it!
Best,
Emily
