frequency conversion won't work
Posted: Tue Feb 11, 2014 4:57 am
Hi
I'm pretty new to eviews so I guess is just me who is a newbie. I have a workfile containing two series with different frequencies (monthly and quarterly, respectively). When I made the workfile I chose the frequency to monthly. I would like to convert the quarterly series by "linear: match last" which I do by clicking on the series in the workfile => properties => freq convert => linear-match last. But nothing seems to happen - the quarterly observation is still just splitted into three equally numbers (if the quarterly observation is 3 in Q1 it is equal to 1 in M1, M2 and M3 etc.). Can you help me out? I haven't been able to find anything in the user guide but it may be that I have missed it. Thx!
