Dear users, As I attempted to copy structure on an existing file in the dialogue box "Copy file structure" the options check box for "copy *c*heck file" is not accessible. What could be the problem?

mac os x data double entry issue

by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca

Hi, I plan to use Epidata for a clinical study. A problem / bug came up when I tried to do double entry of data. To prepare double entry, Epidata saves a copy of the project. But it is for me not possible to save this file. I get an error message "Error saving file! - this file filename.double.epx could not be saved" I have tried to rename the file and change destination, but still not working. Anybody else with this problem? I´m using Epidata project tools v1.4.1.1 (manager and entry client) OS X v10.8.4 on a MacBook Pro Best regards / Venlig hilsen Kresten Rickers PhD Student, MD Orthopedic Research Lab.

How to count the number of missing values in an observation/record/row

by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca

Dear sirs/madams, My name is Anh. I am a student from Vietnam. I would like to calculate the number of missing values/entered values in a record. I had a look at Epidata manual but I could not find any relevant instructions. Could you please help me with this problem? Thank you so much, Anh Dang ........................................................ Details of my problem: My checklist contains 5 variables. Each variable is given a score (0,1,2), but in some records, a few variables are left blank because they are not relevant. The final score is calculated by dividing the sum of score of each variable (don't take the missing into account) by the 'total number of entered variables'. id var1 var2 var3 var4 var5 1 2 1 1 0 final score = (2+1+1+0)/4 ( I use the command 'ignoremissing' to get the sum) 2 2 2 2 1 1 final score = (2+2+2+1+1)/5 3 1 1 final score=(1+1)/2

Bug on import in Manager (public release 1.4.1.0)

by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca

We have found a bug in the most recent public release version of EpiData Manager 1.4.1.0. With the bug import of epx and other files into a project with "renaming" of value label sets gives an error. This will be fixed and a new version uploaded within short time. (days) This is only relevant for the situation where you add files depending on naming of value label sets. If other bugs have been identified please report, such that we can fix these as well. regards Jens Lauritsen EpiData Association

by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca

Version 1.4.1 of Manager og EntryClient has been uploaded for generel production usage from http://www.epidata.dk Changes are as follows: EntryClient: When F9 or "show value labels" is active the first value label is selected as the default. Manager: Validate duplicate issues with creation of verification file and selection of fields for comparison has been fixed. Default name of value label sets is now valuelabel_<fieldname> Reports and file lists now indicate cycle number (automatic version coding) Minor other text adaptations Export to DDI format now validates correctly against DDI-3.1 as can be verified on: http://snd.gu.se/sv/ddi/validator Just paste the created XML into the field "DDI xml" and hit "validate" All other aspects of function are the same as in the first 1.4.0 release last week.

Report any bug you find in public releases, please

by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca

The public version 1.4 of EpiData Manager and EntryClient, plus the minor adaptive release of EpiData Analysis were released on May 24. As noted in a previous mail there are some issues in relation to validate duplicate, DDI export and a few other issues. Since the number of public releases should be kept low I have decided to wait a few more days before uploading an updated bug-fix version of Manager and EntryClient. I am aware of some details reported in relation to Analysis and lifetable analysis. These will be taken care of soon. If you have found any issue not mentioned on this list, then please discuss as soon as possible, such that we can fix these issues - if needed. Meanwhile I can disclose, that the next expermental version for testing will contain a scripting facility, such that scripts can be run before and/or after entry in a given field. This will replace the current "calculate" tab in properties for fields. Examplescripts are: if V1 = 1 then goto V2 else if V1 = 2 then goto V3; V4 = V1 + V2 + V3 ; V5 = V1*V2*V3; regards Jens Lauritsen EpiData Association
