[Gretl-users] Open document data import.

Is there a problem with open document import in recent versions of gretl 1.9.1cvs. On Windows XP gretl cvs (built date 2009-1-1) will not recognise the date column in the attached data set. Gretl 1.7.9 cvs 2008-12-12 built in Ubuntu 8.04 will. The attached is only the first few records of a data set containg over 5000 records. If I export the data set to excel (XP) I get a message similar to that below when I try to read the import the excel data set (in both windows and ubuntu). 32146 is the integer representation of the first date in the data set. 39785 is the integer representation of the last. Is it the case that excel requires a string representation of the date rather than an Excel date format. first row label "32146", last label "39785" trying to parse row labels as dates... 3214: probably not a year but I can't make sense of the extra bit Best regards John Frain -- John C Frain Trinity College Dublin Dublin 2 Ireland www.tcd.ie/Economics/staff/frainj/home.html mailto:frainj@tcd.ie mailto:frainj@gmail.com
