There is a small glitch with the 'GLOBAL' variable type in Epi Info 3.5.1 that sometimes causes the value of the global to be wiped out. This means that child records may not populate correctly when fields in that child record are assigned values fr…
Greetings,
No, unfortunately there is no way to set this up in Epi Info. It's been requested several times and its a feature being looked into for future releases. I wish I had a better answer for you.
Let us know if there's anything else we can d…
AUTOSEARCH will only work with other fields on the same page. It can't work with global or permanent variables because these variables can only store a single value - they don't represent a series of values (like fields on the View do).
The only re…
Greetings,
Because we haven't seen this error in Data Compare previously, we'll need you to upload the MDB file(s) you are using for the comparision. We'll also need you to tell us the table names specified in Step 1 and the fields being used to ma…
Caitlin,
Epi Info does not have this capability. A legal values field will always show all of the values. To get the desired result - that is, the user only sees a subset of the values depending on some other field in the View - you will have to fo…
If you can provide some specifics of what exactly you want to capture and audit, that might help us better answer your question. Keep in mind Epi Info is not designed to conduct audit trails or generate logs during data entry and so we may not be ab…
We're aware of the problem - the solution is to use permanent variables instead of global variables, and the check code for the relationship should also be placed into the relate button itself (although currently this needs to be done using Access,…
The most helpful approach would be to read through the Epi Info tutorial on using Analysis. This will assist you in getting familiar with the Analysis user interface, reading databases, displaying your data, sorting your data, and selecting subsets…
If you are using the command builder dialog for the SELECT command, you will need to find the field in the drop-down list of fields that you wish to select by. If you're using the Program Editor to manually create your SELECT conditions, you will ne…
Greetings,
As I understand it, you want to process only records where certain conditions have been met - for example, perhaps you want to process only records where the patient's gender is male. Is this correct? The values that appear in drop-down…
Greetings,
We'll need additional details before we'll be able to assist. If you can, please try and elaborate on the "specific area" you are trying to analyze. If you have not collected any personally identifiable information or confidential inform…
Are you referring to the DEFINE GROUP command in Analysis? If so, this works the same way as using the 'Create Group' function in MakeView at least as far as analyzing variables is concerned. That is, you can run other commands (such as FREQ) on the…
Could you attach the database you are using to a reply? (Or, attach just a small part of it? Maybe 200 or so records?) This way we can run some commands on it and see what exactly we need to do in order to get you the results you need.
We ask that…
You'll need to issue a SELECT command that tells Analysis to skip processing records with missing values. This will elimiate all the blanks from being written when you do the summarize command. However, you might also consider issuing a SORT command…
Greetings,
We'll need you to answer a few questions before we can assist:
1) Can you describe exactly what you mean by "First" and "Last" functions? How are you using these functions in Epi Info? What is the sytnax you are using?
2) What version…
I would like some tips about the GROUPVAR function.
Thanks in advance;
