PREFACE

INFORMATION PAPER

NOTES

This information paper advises users of proposed changes to the AusStats tables associated with the publication "Business Indicators, Australia" (cat. no. 5676.0).

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 a selection of new tables providing a view of the proposed new format for these tables.

These changes are due to come into effect with the September quarter 2005 issue of 5676.0 which will be released on 5 December 2005.

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

  • 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
