Dear Statalist, 

I am doing some tsline graphs and I get an error with the "if tin" option. 


I have data staring in March 2003 and runs for five years. When I do a graph with twoway tsline, the X axis starts with Jan 2003 and ends in Jan 2008 even if there are no observations. I tried to use the if tin but I get an error message. Can anyone let me know how to modify dates so the X axis starts from Mar 2003 and goes until Mar 2008 as my data suggests? 


. tsset mdate mdate, format(%tmMon_CCYY)
       panel variable:  mdate (weakly balanced)
        time variable:  mdate, Mar 2003 to Mar 2008
                delta:  1 month
tab mdate

      mdate |      Freq.     Percent        Cum.
------------+-----------------------------------
   Mar 2003 |          1        1.64        1.64

   etc...

   Mar 2008 |          1        1.64      100.00
