Hi all,
I'm trying to get long series of dates I downloaded from Google Trends
to function in Stata. Unfortunately, Google Trends's way of doing
dates makes this difficult. An example value from a single
observation:
2004-01-04 - 2004-01-10
This represents the week of January 04, 2004 to January 10, 2010.
However, Stata is (understandably) reading this as a string variable.
Is there a way to take variables like this and break them into a
beginning date and ending date or something similar?
Thanks in advance,
Stephen
