Fusion-Excel-Series

Fusion Excel Series with header section and tabs

Fusion Excel Series with only the series key as the header (not broken down by dimensions)

Showing Currency at the Observation Level

Overview

The Fusion-Excel-Series format is not an official SDMX format. It has a similar layout to the Fusion-CSV-Series format, in that a Series is output per Column. The series can iterate values over time, or any other designated dimension to be at the observation level.

The advantages over CSV is that Excel provides a few additional features which are now possible in CSV, these are:

• The ability to slice the data over a Dimension to output a worksheet per Dimension value, e.g slice by FREQ would output Annual Data in one worksheet, Monthly data in another, and so on.
• The ability to promote fixed values to a header. Similar to the Fusion_Excel_Data format, reported values which are the same for the whole worksheet can be reported once in a header section
• Excel's freeze pane feature is used to make the inner table scrollable while keeping the column and row headers in place
• The use of colour to style the output, making the data easier to read

Fusion-Excel-Series is an export format only, supported by Fusion Registry, Fusion Edge Server and Fusion Data Browser.

Fusion-Excel-Series became available from Fusion Registry v10.4.5 onwards
