EViews.com

Hello,

I wonder if one could sort panel data in Eviews by year instead of ID (see example below)? Right now I can only get all years for the first ID, then all years for the next and so on.

ID Year Series
1 1995 12
2 1995 ..
3 1995 ..
1 1996 ..
2 1996
3 1996
1 1997
2 1997
3 1997

Best regards,
Per

Not really.

You could restructure the panel as an undated panel, and then have the time and cross-section identifiers in any order you want, but then you'll lose all date functionality.

Thanks for ýour answer.

The reason I asked had to do with the new geomap objects. It doesn't seem to connect the map id (e.g. a municipality code) with the corresponding code in the dataset for a panel. But it works fine if you only look for one year separately.

It should work. Can you give us a bit more detail on precisely what you are doing, what you expect, and what you are seeing.

Thanks.
