Betreff: RE: st: Calculate the average bid-ask spread for each centile
Thank you vary much Maarten. It works. The only problem is that I have the
same average spread for different days, while I want the mean calculated for
each centile of each day. In other words, if days are 10 I have now 100
means, while I should have 10*100 means calculated. Is it possible?
Thank you again.
