Importing data from excel

Postby ErikG » Fri Jan 16, 2015 4:27 am

Hi,

I have a few suggestions regarding importing data from excel:

1. When The excel sheet or a specified sheet is not found there should be an error message saying so.

2. When reading data from an excel file with mutliple sheets containing the same column names into separate workfile pages , there should be a warning message: An example

Excel: Two Sheets Sweden and Japan that both contain the series GDP
Eviews: Two pages named Sweden and Japan.

When I attempt to import the DGP series to their respective pages I end up with only one of the GDP series entering both of the pages. It seems like it worked but one of the series is wrong!

3. If it is not possible to read matrices from .xlsx files, there should be an informative error message when one attempts to do so.

Regards,
Erik.
