I want to restrict the occupied space series (occupspc_sp) to not surpass 95% of the total stock series (stock_sp), so that the vac...

Re: Loop to run equation

Matt, The equation that I want to calculate and which is shown in the Excel spreadsheet I attached in the last post is: idxpricereal = idxpricereal(1)/((1+(idxprice(1)/idxprice-1))*(1+inflation(1)/100)). However the script below does not have show the same results of this former equation. genr(r) id...

Re: Loop to run equation

Illegal date too...But that's fine, I can go with @now only. However the issue in my next steps comes when I try to deflate this series to transform it in real prices (discounted by inflation).

Re: Loop to run equation

Great ! It worked, however I got to change the second line to aapool_reits.genr idxprice? = price? * 100 / @elem(price?, @now), as the %tmp version gives me a message "illegal date %tmp". How can I do If I want to use @now-1 or @now-4 as it does not work in this script ?
Thanks

Loop to run equation

Hi, I am trying to create a same base price index for many series that starts with 100 at the most recent year and goes backwards based on the period price change. However for this to work, as it is calculated backwards I need to execute the equation many times until the first observation for each s...
