Hello, I'm importing data from an excel file into a panel using the following script: open simulation.xls --sheet=1 --rowoffset=2 --preserve # grab the transpose of the data as a matrix M = {dataset}' # and record the length of the time dimension scalar T = rows(M) open simulation.xls --sheet=2 --rowoffset=2 --preserve # stick on row-wise the transpose of the next data M |= {dataset}' open simulation.xls --sheet=3 --rowoffset=2 --preserve # stick on some more data M |= {dataset}' scalar NT = rows(M) # create a suitably sized dataset nulldata NT --preserve # pull out the columns of M as series series v1 = M[,1] series v2 = M[,2] delete index # hello gretl, this is a panel! setobs T 1.1 --stacked-time-series series year = time + 2004 # take a look print --byobs ####################3 The problem is that the panel is backwards , I tried the solution from the manual by I can't get it right. Any suggestions? Thanks,Mihai ps: I know that I could flip the dataset in excel but because I have about 70 sheets and over 100 variables this is not practical at all. _______________________________________________ Gretl-users mailing list Gretl-users(a)lists.wfu.edu http://lists.wfu.edu/mailman/listinfo/gretl-users
