# fieldname fieldDescription
1 DataId A unique numeric record ID corresponding to the data record provided.
2 Indicator The name or label of the particular indicator for this data.
3 Value The actual value (percentage, rate, number, etc.) of the particular indicator specified. The value can be used to provide statistics to users.
4 Precision The number of decimal places that should be presented for value of the indicator.
5 DHS_CountryCode Two-letter DHS specific country code.
6 CountryName DHS specific country name.
7 SurveyYear The principal year in which the survey was conducted.
8 SurveyId DHS survey ID. Each survey will always have a unique ID (of the form ccyyyyttt where cc is the DHS country code, yyyy is the survey year, and ttt is the survey type) and can be used to obtain national or subnational data for a particular survey.
9 IndicatorId Indicator ID for the indicator specified for the particular data.
10 IndicatorOrder Indicator Order for the indicator specified for the particular data.
11 IndicatorType Indicator Type for the indicator specified for the particular data.
12 CharacteristicId DHS has defined a list of characteristics that are used across surveys to make sure the data can be compared across countries very easily. A characteristic ID gives you the unique ID that represents that particular characteristic.
13 CharacteristicOrder Sort order in which to display characteristics.
14 CharacteristicCategory DHS has defined a list of characteristic categories that are used across surveys to make sure the data can be compared across countries very easily. This category can be used to filter data. See also CharacteristicLabel.
15 CharacteristicLabel This field provides label of the characteristic within a particular characteristic category. For example, Urban and Rural are the two characteristics within the category Residence.
16 ByVariableId A characteristic ID identifying a further level of disaggregation, when an indicator is disaggregated in multiple ways. For example, Current Use of Contraception is disaggregated by Age, but also for All women, currently married women and sexually active unmarried women. Age is presented in the characteristic category above; the disaggregation for All women, currently married women and sexually active unmarried women is captured in the ByVariableId and ByVariableLabel. If this additional level of disaggregation is not used for the indicator the ByVariableId will be 0 and the ByVariableLabel will be blank. A common use of the ByVariableId and ByVariable...
17 ByVariableLabel The descriptive label for the level of disaggregation provided in the ByVariableId.
18 IsTotal This column will identify if a certain value is a Total value used for national totals.
19 IsPreferred If a particular indicator has multiple values because it is disaggregated in multiple ways, this column will identify which is the preferred value to display by default.
20 SDRID ID used in The DHS Program Spatial Data Repository (SDR).
21 RegionId Unique ID given to each survey and region.
22 SurveyYearLabel The Survey Year Label can provide slightly more details about a survey's year. For example if a survey started in 1998 and finished in 1999, the survey year would be 1998 while the display would provide 1998-99. This information could be used to make the user interface more intuitive and accurate.
23 SurveyType The survey type determines whether the survey was a DHS, AIS, MIS, SPA, RHS or other type of survey.
24 DenominatorWeighted The weighted denominator for the indicator data.
25 DenominatorUnweighted The unweighted denominator for the indicator data.
26 CILow The lower bound of the 95% confidence interval for the indicator. The confidence interval is only presented for the maternal mortality ratio and the HIV prevalence indicators.
27 CIHigh The upper bound of the 95% confidence interval for the indicator. The confidence interval is only presented for the maternal mortality ratio and the HIV prevalence indicators.
28 LevelRank Determines the administrative boundaries.
