[Gretl-devel] problem with "stack"

Hi all, I'm getting some unexpected behavior with the stack() command. The attached spreadsheet has data structured as in the "by variable" example on p. 23 of the user's guide. I followed the sample script as on p. 24, except I opened the file as .xlsx and do the stacking from v2..v13 since v1 is the country names. When I open the spreadsheet, the "variables" v2, v3, etc have the correct column information, but the resulting variables x1 and x2 aren't correct. For example, x1 becomes integer-valued. I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong here; suggestions welcome! Thanks, Peter [signature_229785562] Dr. Peter M.
