Hello,
I'm very new to Eviews (I'm using v 6) so I apologize if this is a simple question or I'm not explaining it correctly. I'm trying to generate a new series using just the most current last value of another series. This is the command I'm using:

genr cur_nf = @elem(nf_consum_banks_tc, "@last")

This works but it gives me N/A because my workfile sample is set to 2000M1 to 2015M12. Is there a way to extract the last numerical value in this fashion? Or is there a way to set my workfile sample to start at 2000m1 and end at the last numerical value o feach series I'm working with?

Thank you,
Chris

In EViews 6 this is somewhat tricky (EViews 7 has a few tools to make it easier for you).

This might work for you:

Code: Select all


series temp = @recode(nf_consum_banks_tc<>na,@trend,na)+1 
!first = @min(temp)
%firstdate=@otod(!first)
series cur_nf = @elem(nf_consum_banks, %firstdate)

Hi, thanks for your help. Unfortunately this only gives me the first value of the series, not the last.

Ha, my bad.

Code: Select all


series temp = @recode(nf_consum_banks_tc<>na,@trend,na)+1 
!last = @max(temp)
%lastdate=@otod(!last)
series cur_nf = @elem(nf_consum_banks, %lastdate)

I suppose I could have noticed that too.

Thanks for the help!
