I have a marriage variable called v1marital in one dataset and v_martial_0 in another.
I am trying to harmonize the variables and also change from character to numeric.
However, the variables have different conditions and I want vmarital=2 to equal 3 =v_marital_0. I'm not sure how to go about this.
V_MARITAL_0
1=single, never married
2=married, co-habituating
3=divorced or separated
4=widowed
and
V1MARITAL
1=single, never married
2=separate
3=divorced or annulled
4=widowed
5=married
