loop for string variables

Postby SP123 » Thu Mar 14, 2019 10:04 pm

Hi there,

I want to repeat the same calculation for numerous string variables. For example act/act_rb, nsw/nsw_rb etc. Below is the code I have written.

%seriesname = @wlookup ("*", "series")
for %n {%seriesname}
next
For %N act nsw qld vic %Y act_rb nsw_rb qld_rb vic_rb
series stack = {%N}/{%Y}
next

When I run the program it comes up with a syntax error. Can you please help ?

Thanks you for that. Is it possible for me to save each of the calculation in separate series or in one group ? thanks in advance again.

Then give each series a different name.
