Create a series equal to @date on the daily page. Copy it over to the monthly page using "first" as the frequency conversion. Then copy it again using "last" as the frequency conversion. That will give you a series of the dates of the first workday and last weekday of each month.

I'd do it just by creating a temporary monthly page.

Where L1 is the sum of the absolute values, and L2 is the square root of the sum of the squares.

It is not currently supported by EViews.

Have you tried saving it to somewhere other than onedrive?

Yes, but they wrote the EViews bit too :)

I'm not sure I understand what you're asking, sorry. Are you asking how to do the seasonal forecast, or how EViews does it? If the latter, the Help section has details here: https://eviews.com/help/helpintro.html#page/content%2Fseries-Seasonal_Adjustment.html%23ww161272 (scroll down to the paragraph...

It sounds like you're pasting in the wrong place.

What does "rewrite in monthly" mean?

Perhaps you could include some screenshots of what you're doing?

Don't put it in braces.

If you have something like: %fcast_series = "X" xput {%fcast_series} xon fcst_series<-ts({%fcst_series}) xoff that will be passed into R as: fcast_series<-ts("x") which will cause the error because R is not expecting the quotes. So you'd need to use R to remove the quotes. Perhap...

Presumably you've already used XPUT to transfer the data across, and the issue is referencing that variable in R?
