Hello

I need to etimate a montlhy mean series (where the observations falling in a month take the value of the mean of this month) in a workfile containing daily observations. Is there any specific function to do that? Thanks in advance.

Thanks a lot for the prompt reply, one question on this function: the resulting series will contain the mean for each month in a year or it will be the mean of the same month for all the sample (i.e. for al decembers).
