How to convert quarterly data into monthly data

[cameron]

Hi,

i want to ask 2 questions,,
1) how to convert from quarterly into monthly data??
2) i want to ask about eviews5 and eviews6, i want to make a graph but it was not working on eviews 6, otherwise it was working on eviews5. And, i want to run unit root test, again it was not working on eviews6 (it saids:"insufficient number of observations for unit root test"), but it was working on eviews5. why this could be happen??

thanks

I convert quarterly to monthly by storing the series into database and then import into a monthly workfile. But you have to set your conversion method. This is in the documentation. You can use linear interpolation or a spline, etc.

With regards to question 1, simply create a monthly page in your workfile, and then copy the data into the monthly page. As Jim said, it is fairly well documented in the manual.

As for the second question, I think we'd have to see the workfile.
