Data frequency conversion bug

[bbonizzi]

Hello,

I am trying to convert some series to lower frequency (Monthly/Quarterly to Yearly). This works well when you do it directly, but not through the program. Specifically it does not seem to recognise any of the options for frequency conversion.
For instance using the code:

Code: Select all

copy(c=last) Monthly\BOND_ALLOC_TOTAL * copy(c=last) Monthly\EQUITY_ALLOC_TOTAL * copy(c=last) Quarterly\BOND_MARKET *

does not in fact use the last observation of the month/quarter for the yearly values, but actually sums them up.

This problem was pointed out before https://forums.eviews.com/viewtopic.php?t=20275 and recognised as a bug. I was wondering if there were any plans to patch it? I should add that I am still using Eviews 12.

Thank you
Bruno

Hello.

Yes, this was fixed in 12.

[bbonizzi]

Thank you. I am using Eviews 12 but the problem persists. Do you mean it was fixed in 13?

[EViews Gareth]

No, it was fixed in 12. What's the build date of your copy of 12? (Help->About EViews)

Thanks I use Eviews 12 it through my organisation, and the build is Jul 7 2021. I guess that is not the most up-to-date version?
