I fished the following from the cross-validated Q&A forum
https://stats.stackexchange.com/q/581717/28746
<<
This is my first research using Gretl. I have a panel of 197 people for 
66 months stacked as time series. One person has values for the months 
of January, February, Mars, April, November, December. For the summer 
months of May, June, July, August, October and September there is no 
data available. so my data goes from 2005-11 to 2016-04 with 6 months 
missing every year. It is not surprising, that Gretl does not recognize, 
that the summer months are missing. It strings the data together and 
recognizes my data from 2005-11 to 2011-04. Does any of you have an idea 
how to solve that problem and make Gretl realize i only have 6 months 
per year?
My first idea was to include missing values for the summer months. Is 
this possible in Gretl or do I need to do it in Excel?
I already checked in the manual and various internet plattforms, but 
could not find a solution. So I am greatfull for any suggestion.

Can we help this person?
