Text object question

[helpmecodeplease]

Can you make a text object that combines text and the last observation of a series? Eg. the text object created in a program would say, 'the price of oil was" {then the last observation of the oil series] in [then the month of the last observation]

Thanks

Code: Select all

wfcreate m 1990 2020 series oil = @nrnd smpl @last-4 @last oil = na smpl @all text mytxt %val = @str(@last(oil)) %last = oil.@last %msg = "The last price of oil was: " + %val + " in " + %last mytxt.append {%msg} show mytxt

Awesome, thanks Gareth. What if I want it to give me a different observation? Say that observation in the month that a different series had its last observation. So I want to talk about about variable1 which goes to 2025m10 but refer to variable1's observation in the last month of variable2's series?
