Description

Hi Stephanie

I have merged individual level data on the BHPS across waves and am having difficulty merging with the house price data set.

The rule is that am i am suppose to find a unique macro identifier for the two data sets in which am using "region" as you advised duringUndSoce training but the problem is that it still doesn't merge.

It is suppose to work using merge 1: m region using longfile.dta

But it keeps saying the variable does not uniquely identify observations in both data sets. i also converted "region" from string to numeric

Please would really appreciate your help.
Apparently the merged data set which you helped me with during the training 2 weeks ago does not work with my Stata version 13.0

Will be so grateful for your kind help.
