Manual sample change in updateable graphs of panel data
Posted: Thu Jun 25, 2015 12:50 am
Eviews version: 8.1
Issue: When changing a graph's time sample manually with the graph's sample selection bar, not only does the time dimension of the sample shown in the graph adjust but unexpectedly also the cross-sectional dimension: the sample shown will automatically include all the cross sections in the workfile page.
Example:
Change the sample shown in the grpah with the sample selection bar.
Suggestion: Prevent the automatic change of the cross sectional sample dimension when the time dimension is adjusted manually. Additionally, for graphs depicting panel data, you may consider adding a second sample selection bar that allows for a manual adjustment of the cross sections shown.
