Hello, each time i try to use the forecast function in a BVAR (Eviews 11) i get the error "unable to compute due to missing data". There is no missing data in my dataset. Any suggestions?

Could you provide the workfile?

Weird. I made a fresh workfile with the same data to attach and now it works. The only thing i did different was to cut off the dataset so there were no missing values (some of the data goes back to 2000, one series starts midway 2006).

Seems to work for me. What's the build date of your copy of EViews 11? (Help->About EViews)

Could you describe exactly what you do that produces the error (starting with opening the workfile you posted).

So, now if i download the file I attached, it works. But it does not work in the original file i uploaded (if that makes sense). I feel like the guy with the singing frog in the old warner bros cartoon.

the issue might be the fan charts. It works fine unless I select fan charts as an output
