Dear Sergiy
Thanks for your comments. Yes the missing observations with their line
numbers will be very useful. I spend about 30 minutes and 6 regressions
yesterday before I realised that these 40 missing values were buried inside
a huge dataset that I have (13650 lines)
I managed to plug in the required values but not before exporting the data
into excel and turning the filters on which showed me the appropriate
blanks!
Thanks for the response
Regards
Seema
