Transform series in different page

Hi,
I would like to create equations using series that are in different pages. Some of the series need log transformations however, and I can't seem to find a way to do it.

So this works:
equation rent_e firstpage\series01 c secondpage\series02
But this doesn't:
equation rent_e log(firstpage\series01) c log(secondpage\series02)
nor:
equation rent_e firstpage\log(series01) c secondpage\log(series02)

Would anyone know how to do it?

You can't use an inline function like that.

Copy all the series over (as links if you want) to the page on which the regressions are taking place.

Ok thanks. That's what I had originally but was trying to minimise the copying as there are a large number of series from different data providers.

Copying gives you more control over the frequency conversion anyway

But when you can control the frequency conversion (eg when using MIDAS) you can't transform the series either...
