Hello,
EViews seems to lag by 1 period some imported data from Datastream. I have attached a screenshot example in excel and EViews.
Why EViews is doing that? I noticed it happens with some GDP data as well.
Thanks,
Vytas

Screenshot?
In fact, it would be most helpful if you provided a set of EViews commands to recreate the data so we know exactly what you're looking at.

Re: Datastream imported data is being lagged
it's just the simple Fetch USY7D1UKA (US imports from UK) from IMF Direction of Trade via Datastream. IMF shows the value of 10272.5 for year 1980 in excel (also via Datastream) which is correct. If I pull this data into EViews - it starts in 1979. It has happened to some of the other time series as well.

Re: Datastream imported data is being lagged
Sorry, I forgot that the Datastream EDX is developed and provided by an external vendor named: Refinitive
Since we don't have access to their EDX code or their API, you'll have to contact them for help with their EViews EDX.
