Dear Epidata Team,                                   I was trying to copy two columns of Excell to import into Classical Epidata Analysis, to write a .rec file. I am getting this error message in red colour. "Separators: (tab: 38)(semicolon: 0)(comma: 0)(space: 31) Lines: 39" What does this message mean and how to fix it. With regards, Dr. Shavinder Singh

PROBLEM: HOW TO CONNECT OVERTIME RECORDS. MESSAGE FOR JAMIE
by EpiData development and support 27 Jul '22

27 Jul '22

Dear Jamie, Thank you for your answer but I failed See below all the commands I tried Subject: [EpiData-list] PROBLEM: HOW TO CONNECT OVERTIME RECORDS PLEASE Message-ID: <20220724052114.e51cdb84(a)smail.chu-reunion.fr> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" ORIGINAL QUESTION SAY: you have women all identified by a personal number When you chose a number, you have all the babies she had over time e.g. a woman had her first child in 2007, the second one in 2009, the third in 2014 and the last one in 2020 If I want to calculate the intervals between pregnancies (and compare with a risk, preeclampsia for example) - What variable should I create? - What command should I do to find: in 2009 the interval with the preceding pregnancy was 21 months, in 2014 the interval with the preceding was 51 months etc.... JAMIE’S ANSWER You can do this in Analysis. My example is for the new EpiData Analysis. Similar commands work in classic analysis. First create your time difference variable new v mois i; // integer variable called MOIS Then sort the data by subject ID and delivery date sort sujetid accouchment; Then calculate the time difference between records, but only when the subject ID is the same as in the previous record mois := iif(sujetid = sujetid[_n - 1], (accouchment - accouchment[_n - 1]) DIV 30, 0); Dividing the delivery dates by 30 gives approximate months. Dividing by 30.417 and rounding off is more accurate, but I?d go with the integers. Jamie DIEFERENT COMMANDS I TRIED TO DO : ALWAYS « UNKNOWN IDENTIFYER » define interv ### let interv = (numero = numero [_ n-1], dn - dn [_n-1]) div 30.41; intervl = if (numero = numero [_ n-1], dn - dn [_n-1]) div 30.41; interv = iif (numero = numero [_ n-1], dn - dn [_n-1]) div 30.41; if (numero = numero [_ n-1] ) then interv = ( dn - dn [_n-1]) / 30.41;You can do this in Analysis.

EpiData and Monterey 12.2.1
by EpiData development and support 28 Jun '22

28 Jun '22

Good day, I have encountered problems when trying to install EpiData on my new Apple Mac. The OS is Monterey 12.2.1 I get a message to contact the developers and ask them to update the software so that it can be installed if one has Monterey OS. I am teaching an online course at the University of Pretoria, that includes EpiData, starting in 10 days time. There are 1600 students enrolled and almost certainly there will be some with the Monterey latest OS. Regards Brendan Brendan Girdler-Brown +27 (0) 66 077 1295

Help with Boolean
by EpiData development and support 14 Mar '22

14 Mar '22

Hello, New EpiData user here. I set up a form with some of my variables as Boolean. Entered my data using 0/1 for those variables. My issue is that all of them are now showing as N. Isn’t it N for 0 and Y for 1 ? Didn’t notice the issue until exporting my data. Is there anything I can do now about that ? Thanks.

Hello together, I am using the "new" EpiData on Linux. I know how to delete one record/entry/observation/row in the EpiDataEntry. But I do not find a way to delete all records at once. Is there a function for this? My current workaround is simplye remove the <records> section from the xml file. Kind Christian
