Can you tell us exactly what it says under the Proc menu. What other items are there other than Resample?

only "RESAMPLE..." appears. Nothing else appears. When i click resample, a menu is shown and it includes opsions like "sample to draw" , "sample to fill" and "NA handling" . I also dont know what those means...

I can't think of anything you could have done, off the top of my head, that could cause that. Could you post your workfile?

oil_prices isn't a series its a group (hence the little G symbol). If you open up the series called SER01 (which contains the same data), you'll be able to do the seasonal adjustment.

I have a follow-up question on the seasonal adjustment question. How can i seasonal adjust a group of series (more than 10) without doing it for each individual series? When I group evrything together, the seasonal adjustment option is not available....please help...

Other than writing a program to do it for you, the only option is to manually do each of the ten.
