EViews.com

Thanks Gareth.
That's extremely useful.

R.

Thanks Gareth,

could I set that up in a program or would I have to manually set the link in a pre-existing series?
(I'm trying to create a new series containing the data from that link)

thanks.

Hi, I'm using 9.5 Apr 5 2016 build. This link between eviews and datastream I am finding particularly irksome. Please could you tell me what I am doing wrong here?: fetch ds::ftse100(ri) where ds is the datastream database, works just fine. frml a=ds::ftse100 also works fine, however frml a=ds::ftse...

Thanks - what would such a program look like?
Ideally I would like to create an alpha series in the worksheet which contains the stacked data, where that series contains attributes from the original unstacked series.

Hello,

My series have attributes which I would like to retain when stacking them, such that I can use the attributes to apply a value map to the stacked series.

Is this possible? How?

Thanks.

Hello I'm using Enterprise 9.5 April 5 2016 build I have a problem representing dates using Bloomberg data Whenever I try to reference the observation date, eviews is returning the wrong date. In this example (attached) the formula @date(spx) is missing a large number of days from the start of the s...

What am I doing wrong here? It isn't working for me



I'm still getting an end date of 25/06/2016

Hello, I have this code, which is designed to create a new dated workfile with weekly observations with an end date of today and a start date of 10 years ago wfcreate u 1000 pagestruct(freq="w",start=2000,end=@now) pagestruct(start=@now-521) If I run this on the 26/06/2016, @now returns 25...

Hello, I have created a table by freezing a group. Is there a way for me to automatically assign column titles for my series, for instance by using the display name function? At the moment I am using settattr(Display Name) Column Name to assign a display name, but for my table I have to use Tabledat...

Thanks. So both the value and label in my value map will be text ; the text in both cases is generated from an alpha series, which is separately maintained. This program is close to what I want, but I've had to substitute hyphens into the text (the text contains a number of 'int' elements) as the st...

Thanks. I have investigated that already and (unless I'm missing something, which is entirely possible) it won't allow to make many to one mappings. In addition, I'm always stuck with an observation number on the left hand side, whereas I want the left hand side to be one of my series. What would be...

Hello
I find Value Maps very useful, but I am wondering is there a way to create a value map from two alpha series;
In a similar manner one can create a string object=@wjoin(@convert(seriesname)) - can one do something similar with value maps?

Many thanks all.

I think I mean using it in a program to create string variables on which I can perform operations, in turn looping through each row in the vector (which holds a Bloomberg ticker) What I'd really like to be able to do is create a string object from an alpha series or even a text object, but I underst...

SO I've had a good long look through this forum and the help files and I cannot find how to loop through an svector (I have v little prior programming experience). I can see several references to doing it so obviously it can be done and doing it for some appears obvious! Please could some-one provid...

With spaces.
I think this works, actually:
