Bump: year-to-date

[Tatha]

I would like to once more bump an earlier request of mine since v6 in case a forthcoming update carries it....:)

Pls add a ytd (year-to-date) % change possibility for the dated data table object.

At present, if we have incomplete months of a year, for example, a data table shows an average of the few months that are available this year versus an average of the entire previous year, when calculating % chg versus 1 yr ago for an annual column. What we need is year-to-date % change (e.g. Jan-Mar 2011 versus Jan-Mar 2010). In other words, if there are n.a. values in 1 year, Eviews should ignore the same months of the comparison year.

Thanks
Tatha
