PREFACE


INFORMATION PAPER


NOTES

This information paper advises users of proposed changes to the AusStats tables associated with the publication International Trade in Goods and Services, Australia (cat. no. 5368.0).


A concordance between the current AusStats tables (lotus 1-2-3 .wks format) and the proposed new tables (in .xls format) is included below.


Also attached below are links to each new table providing a view of the proposed new format of the table.


These changes are due to come into effect with the April 2005 issue of 5368.0 which will be released on 2 June 2005.


The new product provides a range of benefits for time series clients including:

  • longer time series (we can now provide more than 255 observations in a single series) are presented in columns in accordance with Time Series analysis conventions
  • consistent and complete series metadata is provided for every series displayed
  • a readily recognised file format (Excel) that will 'auto launch' in most business IT environments
  • built in features on which clients can base reliable processing systems.


INQUIRIES
