Hello,
I'm currently working on the impact of Governance (ESG) on
corporate investments. Gretl keeps on giving me an error when
importing a file, specifically with the name of the companies (the
tickers).
This is kinda weird, because when i import a very similar .xls
file related to Social Data (with the same tickers) no error is
given.
It seems that Governance.xls contains a spurious SST (strings
table), carrying the implication that the sheet contains a lot more
rows of data that it actually does (181). This is confusing gretl.
If you export the sheet as comma-separated (CSV) gretl should read
it fine.
Social.xls has a correctly sized strings table so gretl can handle
it OK.
