Hallo…
I am having issues that syntax not working to export in stata.
I’ve tried kobo2stata syntax using

“$dir/datafile.xlsx”, xlsform("$dir/templete.xlsx") choicelabel(“label::English”) surveylabel(“label::English”) dropnotes usenotsave

Previously the syntax could work fine but now it can’t and there is a warning in stata that the data file (xls) is not found.

For this I make sure the files and directories in the command syntax match.

maybe someone has experienced the same thing and can share with me
