Hi all,

Is there a way in EViews to say the fiscal year is September to August? When using our monthly air traffic data I would like to be able to copy that data to the quarterly part of my workfile (separate page) and have it automatically calculate the quarterly totals (which are sums of months) based on the fiscal year and not calendar year. The same would be for my annual page, with the annual year being based on the fiscal year and not calendar year. Any ideas? Can Eviews do a custom year?

Thanks in advance.

Thank you very much, but eviews will lag the year. Suppose I have:

Code: Select all


2000M09	1384532085	
2000M10	1358868167	
2000M11	1197089389	
2000M12	1146904062	
2001M01	1166251524	
2001M02	1051963506	
2001M03	1191344759	
2001M04	1241573540	
2001M05	1324928884	
2001M06	1390336159	
2001M07	1486012141	
2001M08	1496857895	15436662112
2001M09	1219122886	
2001M10	1188742514	
2001M11	1028742527	
2001M12	1038707808	
2002M01	1018003580	
2002M02	921225910.7	
2002M03	1062281533	
2002M04	1105230265	
2002M05	1218980464	
2002M06	1275355941	
2002M07	1383705201	
2002M08	1384023397	13844122025

The fiscal year sums are in the third column, identified at fiscal year 2001 and fiscal year 2002. When using your code Eviews will list annualy as:

Code: Select all


9/01/2000	    15436662112
9/01/2001	    13844122025

Is there a way to get a proper dating? EViews is taking the first date of the range, so this would read Fiscal Year 2000 and 2001 and not 2001 and 2002. Perhaps I could create a fiscal year variable, which would read the observation date, pull out the year, and add one to it?

Thanks

Not clear what you're asking. For what purpose do you want "proper dating"?
