Good afternoon, Strictly speaking, the following may not be a bug, but is something that definitively should be filed under "odd behavior". I'm mentioning this because it might others save some time researching this issue. Here's the situation: I'm calling EViews from an Excel spreadsheet....

Whoaa!

Works. Many thanks! Philipp

Hi, I have a bit of difficulties to import a string from Excel. In the attached text file, I have build a string containing a number of spaces. The scenario is as follows: I already have a workfile open, and would like to read in this string and assign it to, say, variable "%list" in EView...

Hi,

If I remember correctly, the beta version of "EViews for Mac" supported programs. If I read the specifications correctly, the commercially-available student version doesn't (and a non-student version doesn't exist).

Any chance that Mac users will get a full version?

Philipp

Yes,

I ran exactly that code. I can manually create a folder c:\test, I can do it from the Windows command prompt, but not using the shell command.

Strange. Not the end of the world, but strange.

Oh well,

Philipp

I did. It doesn't work either. :-(

Hi, I would like to use the shell command to create a folder, but pass the name of the folder using a string. E.g something like this: logmode logmsg %test = "c:\Test" logmsg %test shell mkdir %test Alas, it does not work (" Unable to create process: The directory name is invalid in &...

Thanks, Gareth. This works. One more question: I will need different parts of the file (different values for "indx_nm", so to speak), and I can loop through them. However, given how large the original file is, it take a really long time to load it every time the loop is executed. Is there ...

Unfortunately - it doesn't seem to work. I uploaded a sample file. When I run the following code: wfcreate(wf=Test) q 2004 2012 import(resize) "Test.csv" @drop modeler fcst_month @freq q 2004q2 @smpl 2010q1 2012q4 if INDX_NM="FFTGTAVG" I get the following error: Error in Sample: ...

Hi, I could use some help on importing a somewhat complex CSV file. The file is structured as follows: INDX_NM INDX_DESC SCE_NM PERIOD VALUE UST 3M US Treasury Bill (3M) TDA_U1 6/1/2004 1.088 UST 3M US Treasury Bill (3M) TDA_U1 9/1/2004 1.5037 UST 3M US Treasury Bill (3M) TDA_U1 12/1/2004 2.0338 UST...

Good morning, I'm wondering whether others have found simple solutions to the following two issues. First, has anyone figured out a simple way to generate fan charts in EViews (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fan_chart_%28time_series%29)? I didn't find anything in the forum. Second, economic data is re...

Hi, Is there an easy way to merge multiple graphs in a loop? Suppose, I have graph1 graph2 graph3, and want to merge them in graph_merge. I could write: graph graph_merge.merge graph1 graph2 graph3 However, if I don't know in advance how many graphs I have, things get tricky. I would like to success...

Hi,

I noticed that Eviews has a chart option "Mixed with lines" (can be found e.g. when making charts on a group). Is there a way I can call this type of chart in a program? It doesn't seem to be listed in the help function....

Thanks, Philipp

Gareth,

You made my day.

PS I don't think it's in the manual -- if that's correct, it might be worth adding for the next iteration.

Hi, I'd like to use principal component analysis on a matrix and retrieve the scores. I can use matrixname.pcomp(eigval=v1, eigvec=m1) to calculate the eigenvalues and eigenvectors, but there doesn't seem to be a command to calculate the scores -- although when I use the dialog box, I can store them...
