Thank you Nick!

In fact I want to try a partition cluster analysis (kmeans). I agree that the time series in the panel will be collapsed as well but after the cluster results I will paste the resulting cluster as a new variable in the original panel and split the sample base in this results. I hope this will work!

Thanks!

Claudio
