Greetings

I want to index a time series to a base period
How do you designate the base period in a "gern" command?

thanks

Not sure I fully understand the question, but couldn't you just do something like:

Code: Select all

series gdpidx = gdp/@elem(gdp,"1990:5")*100
To index GDP by the value in May 1990
