When I concatenate data from multiple folders and export the data, CSPro creates a sort of duplicates from the observations of one of the folders. These are duplicates in terms of the identifying variables, but not identical in the rest. Each of them contains also some missing values and wrong information in some variables. The data from the other folders comes out fine.
When I simply export the data within the "problematic" folder, there are no duplicates.
Could you help me to solve this problem? Thanks!

Dear Khurshid,
Thanks! I think we managed to solve the problem. There were actually duplicate entries in different computers, which should not have happened. Sorry for bothering you!
