Is there some way to force pageload to import data using a particular frequency? Inspired by an old forum post, I have tried the command below. It gives me the observations I want but imports them as an undated panel.

Try:

That works, but it does not allow me to restrict what observations should be read. It seems that adjusting the range to cover only the cells that I want works (below). That however leaves me with the hassle of having to figure out what would be the last column (similar to what I have mentioned in this post).

Since you're doing a pageload, you could always do the pageload followed by a pagecontract to lop off the ones you don't want.

Thanks for the tip! The way I suggested now seems a bit idiotic :D Nevertheless, I think that it should be possible to combine the @freq argument with a @smpl argument.
