ok ... now I understand ... thanks

...I am not sure I understand the implications of that ...

if 1983 is stored as a number, then does that mean that it is stored as 1,983? ... and if so then wouldn't (1,983 + 1,984)/2 = 1,983.5?

- thanks ...

hello ...

I have a dateid series, with range from 1978-2020 ... the mean is 730114.4 ...

I easily spent 3+ hours working trying to figure a way to do that last night ...

thank you

hello ... thanks for responding ... where would I include smpl if country = "brazil" ? I am using the Proc/Reshape Current Page/Stack (Unstack) in New Page way of doing it ... but I do not think that I can add a command in the available forms ... screenshot_eviews_11_07_20.png screenshot_e...

hello ... my goal is to use only a single country, out of a panel data set, for the purpose of a single-country time series ... I start with an excel file: COUNTRY | VARIABLE | YR1980 | yr1981 | YR1982 --------------------------------------------------------------- japan | gdp | 111 | 112 | 113 fran...

SOLUTION:

the problem was that in he excel file the first row of data for the columns through 'O' were blank and so eViews was creating them as alpha columns/series ...

hello ... I have imported an excel sheet and for some reason it is treating cells differently after the 'O' column (which is the 15th column) from excel ... in the picture you can see the excel sheet with four cells highlighted ... and in the right you can see those same cells highlighted, but with ...

aha ... fair enough ... thanks ...

aha ... slightly new question: as it turns out I was using that lowercase country as an ID for that table/page ... now that I created the uppercase version, country_U, I may as well get rid of the lowercase series ... but because it is an ID/index column I cannot ... is there a way of doing that?? -...

hello ... I am attempting a copy() between two pages ... I believe the problem is case sensitivity between the @src and @dest ... I tried copy() ... ... @src @upper(country) ... where 'country' is the source series with lowercase, but of course upper() is not intended to work on a series ... copy() ...

that worked ...

thanks

I am using copy to match merge ... but the src page does not have an id ... I looked under properties and options, but I couldn't find anything ... is there a default id name? copy(options) wf_src::pg_src\datasrc_country wf_dest::pg_dest\country ??? crossid screenshot_eviews_2.png

ok... I will try that, but may I ask, please, is it possible to do it as I was attempting? I suppose this is really a question of: is it possible to iterate down a column in a panel?

- thanks ... I will update when I get the multi page effort to work ...
