Reading CSV tables

[javiersan]

Hi,

I think this question was asked before but I cannot find the answer in the forum or help. Is there a way of reading a csv table into EViews but storing it as a table object in an existing workfile (not as a new workfile)?

Thanks,

Unfortunately not, but I'll ask our Table Monkey to whip something up for EViews 7.

This should work, but I don't know how to obtain the number of obervations of an Alpha object (tried @obs and others to no effect).

I have assumed 23 observations:

Code: Select all

'----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
'Creates a table out of a .csv file
%tabfile="filename.csv"

wfopen %tabfile
group g series*
!c=g.@count
!r=23
table(!r,!c) ch_table

for !j=1 to !c
For !i=1 to !r
%ser="series"
If !j<10 then
%ser="series0"
endif
ch_table(!i,!j)={%ser}{!j}(!i)
next
next
delete series*  g

Regards,

Thanks, that's it.
