Saving Data...
by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca 23 Apr '10

23 Apr '10

Good Day, I have been searching the archived emails and help offerings to try to solve this problem and I have not been able to find the help I am looking for. I am presently running EpiData 3.1 with Windows Vista. I have created a questionnaire and loaded the values for the questionnaire. I clicked on the "Enter Data" button. I entered my data. Now, the only menu buttons I have at the top of the screen are the following: "FILE", "GOTO", "FILTER", "WINDOW", "HELP". Nowhere in any of these drop-down menus is the option to either save the data I have entered, or to export it (preferably to Excel) so that it can be saved there. Please advise. Thank you!

Data missing after merge - any ideas?
by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca 09 Apr '10

09 Apr '10

Hello everyone, I have two files - one fairly large (9000 records, 51 fields) and a second one with 500 records, and the same 51 fields. I can read and manipulate both files in Epidata Analysis but when I try to merge them using the common field of ID number, the second one has all missing variables, except the common field of ID number. I can't think what I'm doing wrong. Any guidance would be very helpful! Thanks, Susie Foster

Similarly you can also get the mergevar with the following commands below: cd "D:\bernard\epidemio" dir read fille merge fiche /file=pere/table /update/updateall Good luck Tieble On 5 April 2010 18:00, <epidata-list-request(a)lists.umanitoba.ca> wrote: > Send EpiData-list mailing list submissions to > epidata-list(a)lists.umanitoba.ca > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > http://lists.umanitoba.ca/mailman/listinfo/epidata-list > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > epidata-list-request(a)lists.umanitoba.ca > > You can reach the person managing the list at > epidata-list-owner(a)lists.umanitoba.ca > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of EpiData-list digest..." > > > EpiData-list mailing list > ___________________________________ > > Today's Topics: > > 1.
