Hey guys,
i want to run a regression between the income and the birthdate of several obs. The regression is working, but the birthdates are shown numeric ("722,000" instead of 1965), although they are shown in the right way in the spreadsheet. Can someone help me displaying it right in the graph?

I can't think of a way to do that. :(

Well, thanks for your answer, Gareth, but in this case, I have to ask another question: how can this be possible? How can I visually describe different obs at different dates with Eviews?

Could you post the workfile?

I'm afraid I can't.... but it's like this:
Income in 2014/date of birth
1.000/1960
2.000/1970
3.000/1980
Shouldn't be the hardest task to visualise the axis as a kind of time line, should it?

You just have year of birth? Or do you want full date?

I would be totally satisfied with the year

Assuming your birtdate series is called "birthdate": Then use the series birthyear rather than the series birthdate in your scatter.

seems like we´re getting close, thank you for your patience :)

ok, i didn´t mention before, that i´m new to the programm - i´ve spent about 6 hours with it. So where can i type that line in? Sounds ridiculous, but i need step for step advices - sorry.

The command window (the white pane at the top of EViews).
