Hi! I have data for 10 years (different firms) from 1996 until 2006 in total 2454 observations. I would like to ask how can I insert panel data in eviews 7. Firstly I balance my data ( I create all the years athough I have no data for all of the years. Then I create a workfile with the option Balanced panel and I select start date 1996 and end date 2006. In the cross section option should I put the numbers of the firms? Then I want also put a dummy, could you please tell me how can I put a dummy for panel data and If I have to select a spesific option for these?
Thank you in advance!

My data have the same format like the first spreadsheet in the examples above. There is no data for all the years, do you know if it is needed to create all the years to insert the data by this way??
Thank you for your answer!!

It does not need to be balanced, no.

On the Panel Options tab of the estimate dialog. User Guide II has more details.

Hi! I tried to import my panel data but it shows a message repeated values found in source id series. Before I deleted some observations from my data I could easily import them and run the regression. Do you know what does this message mean? What can I do to import my new set of data?
Thank you
Georgia

It means that one of your ID series (i.e. either the date series or the cross-section series) has repeated values so that each observation is not uniquely identified.
