How To Arrange Panel Data For Eviews Into MS
Let suppose I have 4 variables which are like (ROA, ROE, ROEC AND SALE) etc. And 4 (nestle, ogdcl,
unilever, lotte etc.) different companies. There are two way of arranging your data into excel sheet first
way, we arrange data into horizontal form and in second way we arrange data into vertical form.
Lets start: method one
Arrange your all variables into this order. Means first write your variable name then underscore then your
first company name or your first country or whatever data you used. Once your one variable completed
then same without any gap start second variable and all cross sections and write till your all variables
ends. Below is screenshot of my arrange data into excel format.
Roa_nest
Roa_ogd
Roa_uni
Roa_lote
Roe_nest
Roe_ogd
Roe_uni
Roe_lote
Roce_nest
Please zoom for clear look. Here I have my first variable ROC and I have 9 different
companies, and I wrote all the data in excel sheet and all data is without any gap.
In first column I years, then variable and cross section name and I have wrote the name
or cross sections in abbreviation form. Like this ROC_UNI and in next Colum ROC_FFC
etc.
Lets start second method of arrange panel data into excel file in vertical form.
In vertical form we arrange data like this.
