Thank you so much.

Hi, I have a CSV file I'd like to import. I've used the pageload command and the import command for this. But no matter what, the series are imported as alphas. Especially those that have "NA"s before numbers. When I imported it manually, the series came out as numeric. Is there a workarou...

Thanks for the clarification. I'll keep this in mind. Appreciate it!

Series. I fetched them from the database.

Yes, I've moved it into a workfile to change the attributes. But I can't change convert hilo (I believe it is an attribute already added by Eviews like freq). It just says I can't modify it.
Here's another image:

I'm adding some attributes to a database. And I noticed that one of the default ones (that was already there) is called Convert Hilo. I wanted to change it to something like the Conversion Technique beside it. I've attached a picture to provide a visual aid. I've moved the series into a workfile in ...

Hi, I want to change the metadata in the Convert Hilo Attribute such as average => sum. But I am unable to as I get a message saying that it can't be modified. Is there another way to change it other than to replace it? It is because some methods of conversion isn't always by average. Or do we get a...

Alright, thanks Jason!

Hi, I want to know how to keep the metadata in the database when I store a series into it. The objects from a workfile have a different metadata which overwrites the ones in the database when I choose the overwrite all or merge&overwrite option. I don't want that to happen. Is there a way to not...

Thanks a lot, Gareth. That worked!

Your thoughts are the way to go. Fetch into different pages based upon frequency, importattr, then store Thanks for the reassurance. But now I'm wondering how do I fetch from the data base based on frequency? Is there a frequency option/feature in the fetch command? Or do I have to do some prelimin...

Hi, I'm trying to add some metadata into all the series in a database. I know there is this useful command known as importattr. However, that only works for objects in a workfile. Therefore my logic is that I fetch the objects from the database and then import the metadata from my excel file (column...

Oh nvm. My brain is probably dead today. I used the wrong {%seriesnam} for the condition. This was for the old data (which are all numerical). {%seriesnam}_01 is for new data which are the ones I'm testing for.

Got it. Thank you so much!

Oh right. Forgot there's an else statement option and mixed up == and =. Silly me. However, it still doesn't work. Perhaps it is because the alpha series are skipping over the condition? The error I get goes like "Numeric operator applied to string data in "SERIES B{%SERIESNAM} = @ABS((GDP...

I see, I've changed it to but it didn't work. The percent difference calculation still went. I even tried @detailedtype. Is my increment to skip alpha series for the calculation incorrect?
