odksplit for ODK and SurveyCTO

[Mehrab Ali]

Dear all,

I am happy to announce that odksplit is now available in ssc. odksplit is a module to split and label multiple response variables generated from ODK or SurveyCTO.

If ODK or SurveyCTO is used for data collection, the multiple response variables are downloaded as string variables. odksplit can be used to split those variables to create dummy variables as well as label the dummy variables. odksplit uses the XLSform to identify the 'select_multiple' variables, and take the value labels from the choices sheet.

Thanks,

Mehrab

Mehrab Ali ,

could you please describe the input file format and supply an example file, which can actually be executed in Stata. The example you show in the documentation

odksplit, s("X:\Projects 2018\Fieldwork\Tools\SurveyCTO files\Phase one_v1.xlsx") \\\
          d("X:\Projects 2017\Fieldwork\Data\Data\raw\Phase one data.dta")

relies on the data that is not in the public source.

Thank you, Sergiy
