Dear Eviews team,

I use Eviews 10, Mar 2018 build,

Assume x being series in a panel data workfile
@ifirst(x) or @ilast(x) give the @cellid associated with the of the first or last non-missing value of x
Is there a way to obtain also the respective @crossid ?

Best,
mamo

I don't believe there is in one line.

I believe the long way around is something like,

Code: Select all


series tmp = @crossid
scalar ci = tmp(@ifirst(x))

This works, many thanks;
btw, @ifirst(x) provides the @obsid - not the @crossid as I wrote - associated with the of the first or last non-missing value of x.

Code: Select all


scalar obsid = @ifirst(x)

series tmp=@crossid
scalar crossid = tmp(@ifirst(x))

series tmp=@cellid
scalar cellid = tmp(@ifirst(x))

Best,
mamo
