Dating a series

[Rossjeno1]

Hi,


I'm trying to assign dates to my series using codes only (I can't use the interface). I've tried:

Code: Select all

%fstart "1986m2" %fstop "2014m1" smpl %first %last

but every time I try that it comes back with insufficient observations in a matrix I have and all the subsequent regressions.

Thanks!

I'm not sure I understand what you're trying to do

So when I open up a series it says the dates in the spreadsheet in the observation column, instead of just the number of the observation i.e. 1,2,3,4 etc.

You need to use the pagestruct command. Full details are in the Command and Programming Reference.

Thank you that's perfect!
