Hi,
I am seeing a problem when importing an xls file with qualitative
variables. The problem is not present in importing xlsx or ods. Please
try the attached file.
(This is in Ubuntu Linux 20.04 with gretl built today. The xls file is
created by Libreoffice)
Hi Ignacio, it would be helpful if you could state what your problem is,
but in this case I suppose that you mean the verbal/string-valued (and
discrete) series Puesto and Sexo are imported as all-zeros. I wouldn't
even be sure that that's supported, but since you say it works with xlsx
and ods, I guess it should be supported with xls as well.
However, I guess it should also be verified if that particular file
conforms to the xls standard, for example by opening it with Excel
(which I don't have on this machine right now).
cheers
