Importing data

Hi,

I was wondering whether it is possible to create a date dummy variable for unstructured data. I am trying to determine the underpricing of IPOs pre and post 1st May 2007 and therefore need to create a dummy variable to do so. I am unable to import the data in any other way as there are multiple data points for several dates.

Can anyone help me on this?

Thanks,

Do you have a series containing dates?

Apologies for the delayed response. Yes I do have a series containing dates.

Code: Select all

series dummy = date>@dateval("2007/05/01")
