I convert a group to a matrix then to a vector using the following:
vector MyVector = @vec(@convert(MyGroup))

Company IT policy would not allow me to change hidden file settings. Is there a way to ask EViews software to not generate these files?

Multiple .prg_Snapshots folders and .evsettings files appeared in my Eviews work folders that I did not notice before. Had they been there all along but were hidden from view? If so, how can I hide them again? What are the uses of these folders/files?

Is there a way to save an image file in an UPPER CASE name?

The follow command yields upper.png, rather than UPPER.PNG:
my_graph_obj.save(t=png) UPPER.PNG

I use Eviews 11 on Windows OS.

How do I return a text string containing names of equations in model.@linklist?

What is the command to find what type (intercept shift or variable shift) an add factor in a model object belongs to?

Gareth, thank you. That worked!

My mistake is that I kept on thinking that cross section ID is attribute of a panel data series. It is actually an object of the panel data workfile, in which all series have the same cross section ID.

For a series without cross section, I can obtain the value at any date with @elem(X, "2010Q2"). When the series is a panel, I get the error message: "Date does not uniquely define observation in panels".

I also wish to know how to extract a particular data point from my panel data series X. For instance, I wish to assign the value of the series value at 2010Q2 for the cross section of "AK" to a scalar. How do I reference that data point?

The name of my cross section id is _P. For instance if I want to select a sample from the state of Alaska, I issue the following statement: smpl 2008 2010 if _P="AK" Eviews documentation on series object does not contain a lot of information on panel data series. Can you point me to some g...

My panel data series is indexed by state abbreviation and date such as "AK - 50Q1". @crossid gives me index 1, ..., 50, rather than state abbreviation. How do I obtain the latter?

@PAGEIDS gives an error message: @PAGEIDS is not a Genr or series expression function.

Great. It seems to me that I need to add the date and the cross section explicitly to the group.

Given a panel data series, how do I extract its date and cross section?

Can wfsave be used to export a table object?

If the reason behind export failing to include observation ID is because the group does not retain it, then the following statement should do it: wfsave(type=excelxml) {%tableloc}state_backtest.xlsx range="actual!a1" @keep {%varlist} @smpl {%graph_sample} where %varlist is a list of panel ...

I constructed a group object from panel data objects. When I export the group to Excel with the following statement, the observation ID (date+cross section) is missing. How do I change that? wfsave(type=excelxml) {%tableloc}state_backtest.xlsx range="forecast!b1" @smpl {%graph_sample} @kee...
