Issue with descriptive statistics of Pool object with time period specific data

In Eviews 14, when listing many series to compute Pool descriptive statistics with data organized as time-period specific, the reported statistics are fine for the first series, but these are repeated for all the other series with the label of all the series. In order to produce all the right required statistics, one has to do it one series at a time. See screen captures attached.

If you look at the attached file below, you will see that when one asks to compute descriptive statistics for more than one pool series for data organized as time period specific, Eviews 14 computes only the descriptive stats for the first variable in the list then it repeats the same values computed for the first variable for all the other variables in the list. In my example, there were to pool elements for 10 provinces for observations between 1981 and 2021, namely the pool series were : : trpmax? and tsreff? .

Could you provide exact steps on what you're doing? I ran a quick test and it seemed to work ok, but I think you're doing something different.

Hello,

In order to encounter the problem, one has to check the "Time period specific" option (the last one on the list) in the "Pool Descriptive Statistics" window.

For the other options, everything works fine.

Thanks for the follow-up.
