Rebase series

[javiersan]

Hi,

Is there a function for rebasing a series (e.g. making 2000m1=100, so divide all the points in the data series by the value at 2000m1 and multiply times 100)?

Thanks,

Javier

There is no inbuilt function, but obviously it is straight forward to perform the division and multiplication manually.

Sure, in any case @elem() does half of the job in a programming context.

U can use @elem with some function as @sum or @mean. And u can set data parameters as "2008:01 2008:12" to set the base. For instance,

ser02 = ser01/@mean(ser_01, "2008:01 2008:12")*100

So u have ser02 as your recoded series.

Good luck.
