Hi ODK Community, At IPA, our statistical package of choice is Stata -- and, increasingly, our survey platform of choice is ODK. So, we've written a Stata program, called -odkmeta-, that reads your xlsform in order to automatically generate a Stata do-file that produces one very clean, well-labe…

This is really cool, Edouard! Thanks for sharing. ▶ ···

HI Lindsey Shaughnessy I use both ODK and STATA on a daily basis am not seeing the attached package would really love to try it out. Thanks Ayoub ▶ ···

Hi Koen, Thanks for letting us know you're facing this issue. odkmeta is written to read csv files, rather than xlsforms with multiple worksheets. Can you save your choices and survey worksheets as individual csvs, and then try running odkmeta? Let me know if that doesn't solve your problems. L…

Dear All, I must thank Lindsey for her suggestion: The problem that was breaking the do-file run was quite simple: ODK Aggregate exports the csv file with ":" instead of "-" when naming the nested groups-- the solution, as suggested by Lindsey was to do a simple find/replace and run it again. I…

Hi everyone, Thanks for all of your (mostly private) feedback on odkmeta! We're glad it has proven useful to Stata users. We're also excited to announce that the code and helpfile are now available on GitHub: https://github.com/matthew-white/odkmeta . If you have feature requests or encounter bu…

Ayoub, odkmeta is, and has been, available on SSC. Type *ssc install odkmeta *while in Stata to install it. It includes a readme/helpfile/examples if you install and then type help odkmeta while in Stata. 99% of questions can be answered by reading the helpfile, so please read it thoroughly. Ha…

Hi Lindsey Thanks for the work on ODKMeta However am getting the following error column header list_name not found invalid listname() suboption invalid choices() option when I run odkmeta using import.do, csv("d:\Surveilence and case_control 09 Mar 2017_InfantInfo.csv") survey("D:\s\survey.cs…

Hi again, I was able to solve Koens problem for me by making sure that csv files are separated by comma, not by semicolon. Programs such as German language excel in my case use semicolon delimiter as default. I needed to change region settings to US to produce a comma separated csv, which is now ac…

Ayoub The could be precisely due to what is reported: column header list_name not found Thus, in your choices worksheet, replace list name with list_name I think the other two errors should go away after this correction. ▶ ···
