Hello,

how can I get the first not NA value of a series. I want to use this value (series 1) as the starting point of a new series (series 3) and add another one to it (series 2).
1 2 3
NA NA NA
NA NA NA
NA NA NA
100 0 100
102 3 103
103 4 104

Thank you very much for helping.

Thanks for replying. However, it does not work.
I want to calculate: series a= @first(b)+c.

Works for me.

Exactly what commands did you use and what went wrong?

I used the equation series a = @first(p10) + cr_10 and then an error message come and writes @FIRST is not a Genr or series expression function?!

Thank you very much for your help.

That function isn't included in EViews 6. There is no equivalent.
