Importing time series data from a textfile
Posted: Fri May 31, 2019 8:46 pm
Dear All,
I have a number of time series data in a text file that I want to use to drive my model model. My plan had been to import the data and create a vdf file
from which I would use the 'GET VDF DATA' function to get the data. I am forced to import from a text file because Excel cannot be installed on the server I am working on. I am getting errors using the 'GET VDF DATA' function because I have not been successful in introducing a variable name in the text file that can be reference as an argument in the function. Kindly assist. Attached is an example of the file in excel.
