Cognitive Ability data for users who answered language questions
90%
Description
Hello
I'm trying to create a simple cross-tab splitting up cognitive ability by language. However, Stata (v18) is displaying 'No observations'. Is this because those who responded to the language questions did not answer the cognitive ability module, or did I make a mistake in my coding? I'd be very grateful for any help in this direction.

Hi Elisabeth,
Could you please tell us the names of the variables you are tabulating and the wave(s).
Best wishes,

Hi Piotr
I'm using cgna_dv and cgvfc_dv for cognitive ability and I've tried both kidlang and englang for language, looking at all waves.
Thanks
Elisabeth

HI Elisabeth,
This happens because cgna_dv and cgvfc_dv are in wave 3 and but other variables are not. I am guessing you must have incorrectly linked the data by accident. You can approach this in many ways, for instance: first, you can create a cross-wave kidlang and englang (each is scattered across a few waves), save it, then, second, open the c_indresp and link the previously saved cross-wave kidlang and englang. See the attached do file.
I hope it helps.
Best wishes,
Piotr Marzec
