EViews.com

Hi,

I am using the Eviews 6 Student Version and have the following problem:

I want to important an existing excel file to eviews. So I choiced File - open - Foreign Data aus Workfile... after choising my Excel File Eviews opens a window: Spreadsheet Read Step 1 of 2 - Cell Range (here everything is fine). The problem starts in Step 2 of 2: I want to change Column Info - Data Type... but a change there isn't possible for me.

Can you help and explain how to change the Data Type with Eview 6 student version?

Thank you!

That feature was not enabled until EViews 7. So if the datatype is incorrect, you will most likely have to import the data as is and then create a series of correct datatype and copy the values manually.
