CREATING TABLES IN CountrySTAT

Title

Name of the

1° dimension

Name of the

2° dimension

Codes of the

2° dimension

Values for the 1°

dimension

Values

Add

columns if

neededAdd rows

if needed

•The table has two dimension: Year and Indicator.•Year has 4 values: 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008.•Indicator has 2 values with codes associated: [512] Male, [513] Female.•When a dimension has codes the name of the dimension must berepeated:the values at the first place are ALWAYS the codes, the second ones are the names

Values for the 2°

dimension


• What are the constraints?

CountrySTAT is a very flexible system BUT ifyou have multidimensional data, it must followCube model.

• Cube definition:

It's a data matrix built according to hierarchicaldimensions. This matrix can be reduced to anunit matrix containing unique variables.

• The cube:

30/01/2014 17

• 3 dimensions=variables:

Country, crop and year.

• Each cell is a unique

trinomial

country/crop/year.

• For instance, 3200 is the

value of the unique

combination of Country

= France, crop= wheat

and year= 1999.

1^ dimension: crop

2^ dimension: year

3^ dimension: country

Cells C3 and D3:

product (codes

and names)


Example of 4-dimensions table ready to be

published in CountrySTAT


Important rules for creating tables

FLAGS

• Category not applicable = “.” Data for these categories do not even hypothetically exist and/or data included in another category

• Data not available = ”..” and “...” Missing data (data exist but were not collected)

• Not for publication = “:” Confidential data

• Nil = ”- “ absolute zero (data is equal to zero)

• Estimated value = “e”

• Provisional or preliminary figure = “*”

• Less than 0.5 of unit employed = “0” Insignificant data



The Excel spreadsheet must be formatted as text

The title of the Excel file should NOT contain any accent

and/or symbol

Delete empty lines



NEVER use coma or full stop for separating the thousands

e.g. one thousand: NO 1.000 NO 1,000 YES 1000

Use always full stop for separating decimals

e.g. three dot four: NO 3,4 YES 3.4

In each cell only the number

e.g. two tons: NO 2 tons YES 2 in the space called

“unit” in the metadata

section write tons


23
