creating an interval sample

[murdoncio]

Hi everyone, i´m very new in this program..... and probably my question is simple but i
I have a intraday data from 9:30 to 15:59, and i want to create 15-minutes intervals so i can see something like this: 9:30 9:45 10:00 ....

if someone could help me.... thanks!!!!!!!!!!

You'll have to expand on what you mean by "create 15-minute intervals".

If you just want to create a new, empty, workfile with those intervals, you can do so by clicking on File->New->Workfile, and then setting the date specification to Intraday, etc...

To create a new page, click on the New Page tab at the bottom of the workfile, then Specify by Frequency/Range, then set the structure type to "Dated-regular Frequency", then set the Frequency to Intraday, then fill in the rest.

Thanks Again!!!!!

[EViews Gareth]

Again, what do you want the new data to be?

[murdoncio]

i just want to do some statistics with a 15 minutes intervals..... the problem is that i have minute by minute data and i´ve been trying to do it but... as i said before the numbers don´t match....
Is there anyway to convert my data from minute by minute to 15 minutes intervals???

thanks

[EViews Gareth]

Yes, but you need to specify how you want to do the "conversion". Do you want to average, to sum, and so on...

[murdoncio]

ahhhh ok... i just want the values as is.

for example my original data has
8/01/1997 09:45 955.05

i want the same value for the 15 minute interval
8/01/1997 09:45 955.05

sorry if i can´t explain myself...... thanks Gareth

[murdoncio]

it was with the first observation option.......

thanks a lot !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
