Weekly data

[cmsandov]

Hi there,
I'm sorry to bother you but, I have tried to enter weekly data in my program (Garch model) but I have couldn't. below my lines:

create w 1/05/2007 10/21/2016
smpl 1/05/2007 10/21/2016
read(b2,s=Hoja1,) "C:\Users\User\Desktop\report 1\db_prices.xls" 2
!estimacion=1

On the contrary, I have entered the data manually and it is correct. Could you mind give a hint?. many thanks

Use wfopen rather than create and read

Hi, many thanks for your response. however, it is not working. It is weird because recently I have been using eviews 9.5 and I entered monthly, quarterly and daily data using create and read (i used to write this line using eviews 5....)

wfopen w 1/05/2007 10/21/2016
smpl 1/05/2007 10/21/2016
wfopen(b2,s=Hoja1,) "C:\Users\User\Desktop\report 1\db_prices.xls" 2
!estimacion=1

do you have some idea what is the problem?. many thanks for your time.

Look up the syntax and description of what wfopen does.
