Database Excel to Dynare

How do I import databases from excel to dynare?

Hi, Apica.
Good afternoon for you too.

Take a look at the manual: The Dynare Reference Manual, version 4.6.4 — Dynare 4.6.4 documentation
I don’t know what you are doing, but for estimation the command is as follows:

estimation(datafile='.../your_data.xlsx',...);

You can add other arguments in ..., such as xls_sheet = NAME and xls_range = RANGE. Note: the first line of your excel should contain the name of variables as they are declared in Dynare. Also, do not import the dates, just the data. If you need dates, search in the forum how to deal with it in Dynare.

Hope this helps.
