Hi there,
Is there any way to incorporate spaces into the file name when exporting data from Eviews into an Excel workbook?
Thanks!

Yes. When you save the file, use the space bar where you want a space.

If I have a space in the Excel file name, as follows;
wfsave(type = excel, mode = update) National Coredata.xls range="Eviews!a1" byrow @keep trns_1_*
I get the following error;
Syntax error: unexpected character '.' in file option settings in
"WFSAVE(TYPE = EXCEL, MODE = UPDATE) NATIONAL
COREDATA.XLS RANGE="EVIEWS!A1" BYROW @KEEP
TRNS_1_*"

Ah, you didn’t mention you were saving via command.
Enclose the path/filename in quotes.

The workbook doesn't seem to update properly when making this change to the path.
Any ideas as to why?
