Redmine Understanding Society User Support - Support #1629 (Resolved): Merging Variable vote_7https://iserredex.essex.ac.uk/support/issues/16292022-01-13T16:30:31ZJan Heinicke
<p>Dear Madame or Sir,</p>
<p>i am a stundent and am using the bhps and ukhls datasets in a project.</p>
<p>I have a question concerning the merge of the waves of the BHPS and the UKHLS.<br />We are using the Code that is shared online public to merge the datasets across waves and wanted to use the vote_7<br />variable for our analysis.<br />But when we used the loop that is included in the merge, the resulting variable vote_7 has a category 7 in wave 7 of BHPS with 700 observations and there is the info of a subsample which we can not find in the data.<br />Also, the merge led to 0 observations in wave 8 of the BHPS, but we can not identify the error for that.<br />Could you maybe tell us how to solve that problem or how to handle it?</p>
<p>THank you for your time and help.</p>
<p>Best wishes,</p>
<p>Jan</p>
