It's quite easy

In Analysis:

select hhid <> [value for delete] savedata newfile

You can then copy your old file as a backup and rename "newfile.rec" if you want.

In EpiData Entry:

-export data to EpiData Choose your current data (.rec) Make sure all variables are checked Check off "Use record filter" In the Filter box: hhid <> [value for delete]

You can put a more complex logical expression in the filter. Your new data are in filename.new.rec

I am trying to delete a subset of records in my dataset based on the value of one of the variables (hhid) in either EpiData Entry or Analysis. I am guessing it is easy, but I cannot figure it out. Can someone please advise?
