How do I get the obs date/number for a specific obs

[abossie]

I want to get the observation date for the median of one series and then extract the value of a second series on that date. Not sure how to do that.

Thanks.

Oh I'm using Eviews 7.2.

Remember that there isn't necessarily any observation that exactly equals the median for a series, as in the observations 1, 2, where the median is 1.5, or that there may be multiple observations that equal the median, as in 1, 2,2,2,2.

But assuming that the observation does exist, and is unique,

Code: Select all

smpl if x=@median(x) scalar val = @max(y)
