Re: [Gretl-devel] Time series data with gaps and plots

Allin, The test data you provided below worked fine. Gretl did not ask me to give it a time series of panel interpretation and immediately understood it is a time series. For example the time series plot option in the Variable tab was allowed together with correlogram and other time series features. I suspected that I perhaps have to change the name of my date variable from ASOF_DATE to DATE. When I do this the program understands the first variable as a row label variable (improvement) but it does not understand it as a date and it continues to ask me about what interpretation I would like to give to the data. BTW the data look like as shown below and I deleted the double row. File attached in the email. Also below you can find the log from importing the csv and the pop up window asking for the interpretation of the data. Note that I get exactly the same behavior when I try to import the data Helio sent. date MKT 10/1/2007 389.6862 10/2/2007 382.1424 10/3/2007 380.0537 10/4/2007 382.5805 10/5/2007 371.6119 10/9/2007 359.7062 parsing \\naspm\portmgr\Sangvinatsos_Antonios\private\Appsense\gretl\Sent_to_Gretl.csv... using delimiter ',' longest line: 24 characters first field: 'DATE' seems to be observation label number of columns = 2 number of variables: 1 number of non-blank lines: 2451 scanning for variable names... line: DATE,MKT scanning for row labels and data... first row label "10/1/2007", last label "9/25/2017" trying to parse row labels as dates... definitely not a four-digit year treating these as undated data [cid:image001.png@01D34D57.222E27A0] Thanks, A. -----Original Message----- From: gretl-devel-bounces(a)lists.wfu.edu [mailto:gretl-devel-bounces@lists.wfu.edu] On Behalf Of Allin Cottrell Sent: Tuesday, October 24, 2017 4:25 PM To: Gretl development Subject: Re: [Gretl-devel] Time series data with gaps and plots On Tue, 24 Oct 2017, Sangvinatsos, Antonios wrote: No, it is supported.
