The program first of all finds the names of the sheets in the Excel file, then opens up the first sheet as a new EViews workfile. You should change that line to match the location of your own Excel file. Note the first line of the program specifies the name of the Excel file.
#How to stack in excel series
Pagestruct crossid 'structure the page as a panel, by stating that the series "YEAR" is a date id and the series "CROSSID" is a cross-section identifier. Import %filename range=%sheetname crossid=%sheetname 'append the next sheet to the bottom of our workfile 'loop through the remaining sheets, loading them into the workfile one at a timeįor !i=2 to = 'get the name of the next sheet Wfopen(wf=panel) %filename range=%sheetname 'open the first sheet as a new workfile (with name=panel, and pagename=the first sheet name)Īlpha crossid = %sheetname 'create a cross-section identifier series, and set it equal to the sheetname %sheetnames = 'find the names of the sheets in that file Note all of that could be done via the command line with the following:Ĭode: Select all %filename = "c:\temp\sheetpanel.xlsx" 'file name of the file to be opened If you're using EViews 6 you will now have an unstructured workfile with all of the data:Īnd all that's left is to structure it as a panel:Ĭhange the Workfile structure to "Dated Panel" If you're using EViews 7, you're now done (since EViews 7 will automatically recognise this data as a panel)! First open the file directly into EViews:Ĭheck everything looks ok on the preview, and hit Finish Reading this sort of file into an EViews panel is easy. If your data is currently in Excel and you want to put it into a panel workfile, then, again, the best way to do it really depends upon what form the data is in inside Excel.Ī common form of panel data structure in Excel is the following: Note if you wanted to do this via the command line, you just need to do this: Note how you now have a panel workfile (you can tell from the Range statement at the top of the workfile - the fact it has a x7 at the end lets us know it is a panel). In this case I used unemp? The "?" represents the cross-section identifier (in this case _US or _CAN). Thus I can use one of my series as a pattern. In our case our series (gdp and unemp) have a pattern of series_crossid. The easiest, in this case, is to enter a series pattern. Via the menus you can do this:Ĭlick on Proc->Reshape Current Page->Stack in New Page Moving this data into a panel workfile is relatively simple. For posts on entering data into a panel from Excel files, scroll down a bit! The workfile I'm using can be found at:Īs you can see there are 7 cross-sections, CAN, FRA, GER, ITA, JPN, UK, USA, with 43 years of data (1950 to 1992) and two data series, GDP and Unemp. In this post I'm going to describe a method which converts data that is currently in "pool" form into a panel. Which method works best really depends upon how your data starts out.
The column and graph show the data by its length and differentiates it by a different color. Rankings: The stacked chart is also used to show the rankings over a period of time.Survey Results: To showcase the results of the survey, the stacked chart is used to know the differences and highlighting.Comparisons: the Stacked chart is used for making comparisons between the given data like values, productions, or many others.A Part-to-whole: With the help of the Stacked bar char, we can clarify the difference from part to whole, and we can see what the chart is pointing out.Same, like above, we can create for 3-D Column,2-D Bar & for 3-D Bar as well by selecting 3 rd one from above.
