Statistics in the ECB Statistical Data Warehouse usually consist of three or more dimensions; the number and type varying according to data type. Most data sets share several common dimensions such as frequency and geographic area.
The Statistical Data Warehouse also enables users to perform simple data transformations such as year-to-year percentage changes or frequency conversion. There are three major retrieval functions:
- Browse Data using a hierarchical navigation system organised either by economic concept or by report type;
- Search for Data by submitting a text or series key search
- 'My Data Groups' allows the compiling, storate and management of selected data for future use (users must create a login to use this function).
The Browse and My Data Groups modules are accessible via the left navigation menu; the Search option can be accessed by clicking on the Search button in the upper header of all SDW pages. Users can create a login and access their SDW accounts by clicking on the Login link at the upper right-hand corner of any SDW page (this is only necessary for accessing the My Data function).
The EUI Library maintains a directory page on European, EU and Eurozone Statistics , providing details of how to access official and non-official data sources.
