comparing every series between two Eviews workfiles

Postby houji » Thu Jun 19, 2025 3:10 pm

Hi,

I am trying to replicate an eviews workfile, and I want to compare if each series within the respective workfiles are identical. I'm wondering if there is an efficient way to do this?

Ex.

WF1 and wf2 has gdp r, cpi
i want to compare the three series and flag when a series is not identical (\neq 0)

Open one of the workfiles, and click on View->Compare...

Or use the wfcompare command.

Hi gareth,

Is there a quick way to generate charts of each series to compare?

Not built in, you’d have to loop through.
