PREFACE
INFORMATION PAPER
NOTES
This information paper advises users of proposed changes to the AusStats tables associated with the publication Livestock and Meat, Australia (cat. no. 7218.0.55.001).
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 the new tables providing a view of the proposed new format for these tables.
These changes come into effect with the September 2005 issue of 7218.0.55.001 which will be released on 4 November 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
- 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.
The new format files can be opened, read and manipulated using Excel 5.0/95 (or equivalent), however, some features will not be available unless you have Excel 97 (or better).
INQUIRIES
