BEA just changed their data download format and now provides a bulk file like this:
https://bea.gov/national/Release/TXT/NipaDataQ.txt
File structure goes like this:
Where A001RC is a series code, then quarter, then value.A001RC,1947Q1,"244,058"
A001RC,1947Q2,"247,362"
A001RC,1947Q3,"251,246"
A001RC,1947Q4,"261,545"
A001RC,1948Q1,"267,564"
A001RC,1948Q2,"274,376"
A001RC,1948Q3,"280,980"
A001RC,1948Q4,"282,127"
A001RC,1949Q1,"276,756"
A001RC,1949Q2,"273,021"
A001RC,1949Q3,"274,535"
A001RC,1949Q4,"272,117"
A001RC,1950Q1,"282,437"
Looking for suggestions to import it into Eviews so that it results in a series named A001RC (as well as all others in the file) in a dated file going from 1947Q1 to the latest quarter.
I tried a bunch of options in the import dialog and none seem to be capable of this. Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks!
