Re: Importing weekly data

Just lag the data once it is in your workfile.
How do I do that?

Importing weekly data

I am pulling weekly (Monday) data from a db into a workfile that is weekly (Wednesday) and am finding that it defaults to being a week off. For instance, the weekly (Monday) DB has data through January 6th, 2025 but when brought into the workfile it remaps it to January 1st instead of the 8th. Even ...

Re: @recode one series with another if X is greater than Y

I am trying to set a series equal to a series, but only for the observations that meet the qualifications. So, in months where BP1FH_S{%s} > BPPRIV_S{%s} make BP1FH_S{%s} in those months equal to BPPRIV_S{%s}.

Re: @recode one series with another if X is greater than Y

I believe so, yes. Here's the entire code up to that point. It will run through everything just fine up until the recode line. 'REGION & DISTRICT DEFINITIONS 'NE %ne = "CT MA ME NH NJ NY PA RI VT" %d1 = "CT MA ME NH RI VT" %d2 = "NJ NY PA" 'NC %nc = "IA IL IN K...

When using the following fetch command I only receive back the series beginning with "a": fetch(db = FRED) ??BPPRIV However, there are many more series available. If I Query the db directly for CTBPPRIV it shows it there. This command does return all available series matching the criteria:...

Re: Copy (by Value) option

Thanks for your response.

When I use the copy command it copies the formula as a formula. I would like to copy the formula as a series, which the manual paste special allows for.

Copy (by Value) option

Is there a way to copy series/formulas as values using the programming language?

This is an option in the "Paste Special" menu as "Paste as" --> "Series (by Value)". I don't see any equivalent in the programming language.

Thanks

When I do this via the store command, it keeps their status as formulas and links.However, because the series that belong to said formulas and links aren't there, the formulas and links break. ...

Re: Rename series loop

Currently they are in a temp variable

%MET = "35614 31084 etc"
%METR = "newy losa etc"

BUT, I can organize it whatever way is the best way to go about replacing one with the other.

Thanks!
