View source for Removing Series from a Dataset – Fusion Data Mapper

[[Category:Fusion Data Mapper]]
Series can be removed from a dataset interactively using the web interface, or in bulk by using the
Excel Import ‘Full Replace’ function.
The process of removing a series from a mapped dataset removes the mapping rule only. The observation data is not affected, nor are rules for the same series that have been added to other datasets.

'''Removing Series – Prerequisites''' 

#The dataset contains series that need to be removed.

'''Remove Series – Required Roles and Privileges''' 

To remove series from a dataset, users must be a member of the Agency that owns the SDMX Structure Set and Dataflow Map that represents the dataset, or a member of a parent Agency if a hierarchical agency structure is in place.

<u>Excel Method – To Remove Multiple Series in One Operation</u>

The Excel Import “Full Replace” function can be used to quickly remove series in bulk from a dataset. The process involves exporting the mappings, removing the redundant series from the Excel spreadsheet, and re-importing the result specifying “Full Replace”. Refer to [[Excel Export / Import Method|Excel Export/Import Method]] for full details on the function.
