In my question below, could you tell me how to enter a
range like below or should I just get the average?
And what is the fastest way to get the income per
year?
thanks


Hello,

My data on income is reported in messy way: AND I
WOULD LIKE TO GET THE INCOME IN THE SAME WAY, FOR
EXAMPLE ALL INCOME WOULD BE PER YEAR OR PER MONTH OR
PER DAY. 
HOW DO I DO THIS?

I have:" income" variable
codes     Average per year     Average per month  
Average per week
1             <2,500                       < 200      
            <50
2            2,500- 3,750              200-300        
         50-70
3           3,750 -5000                300-400        
      70-100
4           >5000                          >400       
                >100

and then I have "incomereport" variable which says:
codes       label
1            income reported was per WEEK
2            income reported was per MONTH
3            income reported was per YEAR
