Excel Import: Date Issues

[nchesley]

Hi,

I've imported a .xls table into eViews with the date in column A and multiple series' in columns B-M. eViews is taking the DATE data in column A and creating a separate series; further, the observations in my analysis (sample selections, graphs, tables, etc.) displays numbers 1 - 465 instead of Jan 31, 1970 - Aug 31, 2008. How can I update the ID on each observation to be the corresponding dates not numerical values?

Thanks,
NC

You need to restructure your workfile so that it has the correct format. You can do this by clicking on Proc->Structure/resize current page.

You probably want "Dated - Specified by Date Series".

That work nicely. Thanks so much!
