@keep vs @drop
Posted: Fri Jul 03, 2015 1:21 pm
I'm trying to export a series to an excel file.
pagesave(t="excelxml") %file_out @keep x
creates an excel file with a date column and a series with a header that says "X" and then a whole series that is just X over and over
if I do pagesave(t="excelxml") %file_out @drop x2
it works as I'd expect, outputting all series except x2 with their numerical values. It really seems to be an issue with @keep.
I can workaround this issue by just dropping every other series, but given that I only want to export one series that's cumbersome. Any ideas what's causing this?
I'm using eviews 9
