• Employ the widest range of data management tools available in any econometric software including an extensive library of operators and functions, and comprehensive support for numeric, character, and date data.
• Take advantage of the extensive library of econometric and statistical procedures built-into EViews, ranging from simple statistics to advanced time series analysis.
• Use the sophisticated built-in tools for forecasting and model simulation.
• Download free powerful Add-ins and user-objects written by other EViews users to further increase the power of EViews.
• Extend EViews by communicating with R or Matlab® by sending commands and EViews data to both programs and retrieving results.

• Customize the appearance of graphs using fade effects, fills, custom axis and observation labels, axis distributional plots, and much more.
• Automatically update your customized graphs with the latest underlying data.
• Combine graphs, tables and other objects into one master object for quick production of reports and summaries.
• Copy-and-paste graphs and tables to other applications or save in commonly used output file formats.
• Use Object Linking and Embedding (OLE) to link your pasted graphs and tables with the original EViews data, allowing your Microsoft Word®, Excel® or Powerpoint® documents to update automatically with your EViews files.
