Collapse function that calculates product

[Daria Fomenko]

Is there a function that does what the collapse function does but calculates the product of the values for the selected variable?

I need it to calculate the yearly return out of monthly returns.

Thank you very much in advance!

collapse is a command, not a function. You can take logarithms, collapse to sums and then exponentiate.
