Dear all,

I have a panel date as following, and want to see the trend of eps by time.
Can I use Graph instruction to produces all eps inculding firm A, B and C from 2003 to 2005?? It seems like something wrong with the following code. Thanks a lot for your help in advance.

graph 1
# eps 1//2003:1 3//2005:1

Comapny Year EPS
A 2003 1.5
A 2004 1
A 2005 2
B 2003 4.1
B 2004 2
B 2005 3
C 2003 2
C 2004 5
C 2005 7

What would you like the graph to show? Do you want separate lines stacked in the same time space vertically, or do you want them to have their own space horizontally?

Dear Tom,

Thanks for your relpy first.
I want to show the graph' s vertial is eps and horizontal is time.
All firms' eps show in the same graph. That means they have their own space horizontally?? By the way, can you tell me why the time horizontally of the graph of the following code can't show from 2003 to 2005? I so confused with how to use Graph instruction applied in Panel Data.

Thanks a lot in advance.
