Hello,
I am new to Eviews. (using 7). I have two series (x and y) with sample range 1990m1 to 1991m12. I want to find the highest correlation between two series by keeping y fixed with range of 1991m1 to 1991m12 and moving series x 1 month back: range 1990m12 to 1991m11, and so on untill 12 months back. My question is how can set these separate ranges for each series? thanks

Rather than changing the sample, just lag X.

So first do the correlation between Y and X(-1). Next do the correlation between Y and X(-2), and so on...

Thank you for quick response. I tried using lags, however I get different result in excel. Just to confirm, my sample range is1990m1 to 1991m12. For lag(-1), in excel I have x(1990m12 to 1991m11) and y stays fixed at (1991m1 to 1991m12). for lag (-2) x is (1990m11 to 1991m10) and y stays fixed at (1991m1 to 1991m12). Is eviews using the same logic?

Yes.
