changing part of a series in a workfile

[minson]

Hi,

I have various series in my workfile for the years 2003 - 2008. One of these series being the UK Industrial Output Index (IP). The problem with the IP is that its producers have revised their figures for 2008. How do I go about and rewrite this one part of the IP series?

Regards
minson.

Well you can either open the series and edit the numbers one at a time, or if there is a more structural aspect to the change, you could set the sample to be 2008 and then re-calculate X. Something like:

smpl 2008 2008
x = x*1.1

which would increase X by 10% for 2008 only.
