I use Eviews 10+ March 2018 build
Match-merge import with re-sizing does not work as expected with panel data, see example code below.
Best, mamo
Code: Select all
' Create wf with two pages structured as panels
wfcreate(page=p1) a 2000 2001 2
series x1=@crossid
pagecreate(page=p2) a 2000 2001 3
series x2=10*@crossid
'Match-merge page p2 into page p1:
'First, save page p1 into workfile
pagesave(mode=overwrite) temp
'Second, match-merge import the workfile into page p1
pageselect p1
import(resize) temp @id @date(dateid) crossid @destid @date(dateid) crossid x2
'However, the cross-section # 3 (with value x1=NA, and x2=30) from page p2 is missing!
show dateid crossid x1 x2
