Hi everyone,

I beliebe I am having a syntax problem. I would like to copy a few consecutive values from one series into another. If you look at the code below you will understand what I would like to do. Thanks for your help.

Code: Select all

create d5 2012 2013

series x=@trend
series y=rnd

' How to put  5 consecutive values of series x starting at row 106 into series y at row 17?

' For one value it's trivial like:

y(17)=x(106)

'Here is my idea that does not work
y(17)=x(106:110)

Code: Select all

smpl 106 110
y = x
smpl @all

eta: Not quite. See Gareth's version below.

Actually, I think something like:

Code: Select all


smpl 17 21
y = x(89)

Hi Gareth,

That's a nice way to solve it. Thanks.

For dated data where you may not know the index of the element of interest, you can do something like

Code: Select all

smpl 2000 2012
y = @sum(x, "1980 1980")
smpl @all
