As in the documentation, I am trying to import data to gretl from a
csv file.
The data is monthly, so it looks something like this:
,shillerRet,state,consSentiment,PMI
1987:02,0.0045773162,1,90.4,54.9
1987:03,0.004080661,1,90.2,52.6
1987:04,0.0045113495,1,90.8,55
1987:05,0.0050701111,1,92.8,55.5
1987:06,0.004516603,1,91.1,57.2
(...)
but gretl fails to interpret is as timeseries data [...]
I copied and pasted the sample above, and current gretl interpreted
it as time series OK (monthly, 1987:02 to 1987:06). Two questions
therefore suggest themselves:
(1) What version of gretl are you using? (Maybe the problem is due
to a bug that is already fixed.)
(2) What does the rest of the CSV file look like? (Maybe there's
some inconsistency in the remainder of the file that rules out a
consistent time series interpretation of the data.)
