Hi im trying to use =recession function to find the years hat have a recession, but when I enter the formula it comes up with the #name?. I was wondering if anyone knew how to fix this problem.
The formula I tried to use is:
=recession(C8, "year")
C8 is the date 01/01/1996
I know this works because at uni I have used this formula and it works, but on my laptop at home it doesn't.
If it is correct once you press enter it would give either a 0 or 1.
Im also using FRED.
