{title:Description}
{p 4 4 2} {cmd: var} var is the name of the excel. {p_end}
{p 4 4 2} {cmd: timeType} timeType refers to whether the downloaded sample is annual, quarterly or monthly, so its value is y/q/m. {p_end}
{p 4 4 2} {cmd: t0} Sample start time, for example, if you choose to download it from January 1995, then this t0 will write 1995m1. Quarterly and monthly correspond to 1995q1 and 1995 respectively.. {p_end}
{p 4 4 2} {cmd: split splitN (n) erase} are optional. When the column of data is too large, the speed of data format conversion is relatively slow. So we adopt a compromise method to divide the sample into n small samples,
and then process them in turn and merge them together. The recommended value of n is between 1/10 and 1/20 of the number of the data columns. {p_end}
