Hi All,

I have been trying to build a time series ARIMA model to predict the volume
of a product and i am getting a list of warnings

*Warning: The ID value for observation 2 is the same as the ID value for the
last observation according to ID variable DATE.*

not sure what exactly do we mean by this ? can  somebody help me get rid of
this warning mesage?

The other question that i have. Is there a way to add other explantory
variables (Like if i want to predict volume and i want to add price and a
dummy variables for time which has a sudden jump in volume eg week of july 4
or new year etc)  .

Any help would be highly appreciated

Best Regards

Meesum
