  • Excel 2003

Download Format Restrictions

Some of the download formats may not always be available. This will depend on the type of table you have created:

Excel Excel 2003 and Excel 2007 have limitations on the size of a table they can display. To prevent data outside of the row/column limit being lost, you will not be able to download in Excel format if your table exceeds these limits.
CSV CSV downloads are not available if the table contains axis derivations.
SDMX

SDMX downloads are not available if the table contains any of the following:

  • Concatenated fields.
  • Axis or field derivations.
  • Items from multiple levels of a hierarchical field.

Percentages in Downloaded Tables

When downloading tables containing percentages, the percentage symbol is only displayed in Excel format downloads. Other formats, such as CSV, will include the percentage value but will not show the percent symbol (%) after the value.

Annotations in Downloaded Tables

If the table contains annotations, they will be saved as follows:

Download Format Location of Annotations
