Hi Guys, I've done quite some research on this online and found nothing thats able to help me.
I am working on a project through in which I will be looking at the data of changes in stocks on 15 minute intervals. shown below.
Date Time Index Futures
31/10/2012 13:30 1415.48 1410.7
31/10/2012 13:45 1416.54 1411.7
31/10/2012 14:00 1414.13 1409.5
I need to set a timeseries incluing the date and exact time of my values. I am well aware i need to create a new date variable for this and specify that it is through "DMYhm".
Is there a way i can perhaps use this already existant date and time value, or do I create a new one, which is what i have been trying to do.
All i have managed to do is generate dates that do not take into account the time which i need, or using %tc stata generates me a new variable that is dates 1 jan 1960 and the time on that is wrong to.
Any help would be great!
Thanks.
