Data Selection
Once you have applied your search terms and filters, you will be presented with a list of all available data series that match your criteria. A data series is a collection of related data points from a single data source that are viewable as a single row within a table of data. They represent the change over time of a specific indicator.
Trade domain data series are presented in table format where each row represents a single data series. The data selection table includes the following columns:
Reporting country:
Source:
Destination:
Product name:
Flow type:
Trade type:
First:
Last:
Count:
Info:
By default the series are ordered alphabetically by country. You can click on the header of any column to sort by that column instead of by country.
To visualize and export data, you will need to select one or more data series by checking the box at the beginning of the row containing that series. Selected data series can be viewed in the Selected tab. You can clear your selections using the Clear Selected button.
Selecting one or more data series creates a savable dataset. For more information on creating and saving datasets, see Create and Save Datasets.
