In 7.2, what is the best way to import text from an excel file as strings in Eviews? I've tried importing as Alpha series but I can't figure out how to assign individual alpha elements as a string. Thanks.

Yep, you'll have to read them in as alpha series, then use:
to access the 2nd element of ALPHA etc..

I figured there was a simple solution that I was missing. Worked great. Thanks.
