Could someone please point me in the right direction step by step information of how to use odkmeta. I am trying to merge the repeat group csv from exported briefcase to the main exported data.

Hi @Azibambo!

odkmeta creates a do-file that, among other tasks, will merge any repeat groups. To learn more about how to use odkmeta, download odkmeta, then type help odkmeta in Stata to view the help file.
