Why a course with EpiData software? Hans L Rieder
How can you know that the data entered into the spreadsheet are correct? Spreadsheets are for calculations, they are not data entry forms!
Windows!! QES–REC-CHK !! sample1.qes: 73 bytes sample1.rec: 292 bytes Total: 365 bytes sample3.qes: 88 bytes sample3.rec: 337 bytes Total: 425 bytes sample2.mdb: 88064 bytes Total: 88064 bytes
EpiData software is simple All files are simple straight text (ASCII) files!
Double-entry and validation is possible with a spreadsheet, but… =IF(B4=F4,"","Discordant")
…the spreadsheet does it variable by variable, EpiData efficiently only by discordant record
