An Excel addin providing a collection of functions for retrieving statistical data from a Fusion Registry directly into a worksheet.

Overview

The FXLData family of functions work like normal Excel formulas with the exception that the result is an array of series and observation values spanning multiple rows and columns. This behaviour differs from functions such as =sum() and =average() that return a single value into the cell containing the formula. Microsoft's documentation provides general information on how that these array formulas work.

Functions for horizontal time-series presentation

Returns a selected dataset in time-series format with one series per row

Horizontal time-series example

=FXLData()

  • The function has three mandatory arguments: the base URL of the Fusion Registry, the Dataflow, a Series Key pattern specifying what series to return
  • A further nine optional arguments can be specified including: maximum number of series to retrieve, start / end period, labels, headers and whether dimensions and attributes are shown

Examples

=FXLData("https://demo.metadatatechnology.com/FusionRegistry","ECB,EXR,1.0","A...")
=FXLData("https://demo.metadatatechnology.com/FusionRegistry","ECB,EXR,1.0","A...",1000,"round=2",2010,2020,both,true,true,true,false)
=FXLData(C14,C4,C7,C15,C13,C5,C6,C12,C9,C8,C10,C11)

Like all Excel functions, arguments can either be literal values, cell references, or other formulas.

=FXLDataUrl()

  • Behaves the same as =FXLData() but takes a single mandatory argument: a fully-formed Fusion Registry data query URL
  • A single optional argument allows the maximum number of series to be set

Examples

=FXLDataUrl("https://demo.metadatatechnology.com/FusionRegistry/ws/public/sdmxapi/rest/data/ECB,EXR,1.0/A.CAD+HUF+INR...E?round=2&labels=id")
=FXLDataUrl("https://demo.metadatatechnology.com/FusionRegistry/ws/public/sdmxapi/rest/data/ECB,EXR,1.0/A.CAD+HUF+INR...E?round=2&labels=id",1000)

Functions for vertical presentation

Returns a selected dataset with one series per column and time on the rows.

Vertical example

=FXLDataV()

  • Like its horizontal counterpart, FXLDataV has three mandatory arguments: the base URL of the Fusion Registry, the Dataflow, a Series Key pattern specifying what series to return
  • There are a further seven optional arguments for controlling: the maximum number of series to retrieve, start / end period, labels, header behaviour and whether attributes are shown
  • REST API data query arguments can also be given for special operations like number precision and calculated measures (e.g. % change)

Examples

=FXLDataV("https://demo.metadatatechnology.com/FusionRegistry","ECB,EXR,1.0","A...")
=FXLDataV(("https://demo.metadatatechnology.com/FusionRegistry","ECB,EXR,1.0","A...",1000,"calculatemeasure=CALC_MEASURE;pch;mvavg,3",2010,2020,id,false,false)
=FXLDataV(C13,C3,C6,C14,C12,C4,C5,C11,C8,C10)

=FXLDataUrlV()

  • Behaves the same as =FXLDataV() but takes a single mandatory argument: a fully-formed Fusion Registry data query URL
  • A single optional argument allows the maximum number of series to be set

Examples

=FXLDataUrlV("https://demo.metadatatechnology.com/FusionRegistry/ws/public/sdmxapi/rest/data/ECB,EXR,1.0/A.CAD+HUF+INR...E?round=2&labels=id")
=FXLDataUrlV("https://demo.metadatatechnology.com/FusionRegistry/ws/public/sdmxapi/rest/data/ECB,EXR,1.0/A.CAD+HUF+INR...E?round=2&labels=id",1000)

Function Reference

=FXLData()

By default =FXLData() returns a horizontal time-series dataset, one series per row with time spanning the columns i.e. time is the dimension at observation. A different dimension at observation can be chosen, more information on how to do this is given in the 'Dimension at Observation behaviour' paragraph below.
