@elem using series from different page

[fhoffman]

Is there a way to rebase a series using a series from a different page (within the same workfile) which has a different frequency?

I have a workfile with a quarterly page named q and a monthly page named m, so i tried

Code: Select all

genr series_reb=series/@elem(m\series, 2016m1)

in the quarterly page, and i got NAs. Any ideas?

Only way to do it is to switch to the other page, store the value you're interested in (as a program variable if you're in a program), then switch back and rebase.
