Fusion-Excel Default

Overview

The Fusion-Excel Data format is not an official SDMX format. It was developed by Metadata Technology prior to SDMX releasing the SDMX-CSV specification. The use case for the Fusion-Excel data format was to provide a simplified data format for data reporters, and data consumers, in a widely used and understood format (Excel).

Fusion-Excel can be used as both an import and export format for the Fusion Registry and Fusion-XL, and an export format for the Fusion Edge Server and Fusion Data Browser.
