Reading Data from XLSM file

Postby seoulmember » Mon Dec 03, 2012 12:58 am

Hi there,

I have difficulties reading data from XLSM files. For some reason only a whole bunch of "serXX" series are created with no data included. I am using the "following command:

read(t=xlsm,b2,Sheet=EViews5) "Address\file.xlsm" 73

The file itself has the usual structure, i.e. dates in column-A, series-names in row-1 etc.

Cannot find any solution in the documentation. Would be great if someone could help. Many thanks in advance.

The READ command doesn't support Excel 2007 file formats. Use WFOPEN or IMPORT instead.
