Data preparation

Open a new workbook or the one that contains your data. The time series are organized by columns. The first column is always the time of observations, e.g., years. The first row must always contain labels (names of time series). These labels will be used to name new output worksheets. The time series in the data matrix can start and end at different years, but no missing data within an individual time series is allowed.

If you want to experiment with normally distributed random numbers, click Shifts --> Random Data to populate the spreadsheet. Maximum number of time series is 250.
