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. Data series are presented in table format where each row represents a single data series. The Exchange Rate Rates domain data selection table includes the following columns: Name: Name of the data series, formatted as {to_currency} per {from_currency}: {rate_type}: {market.full_name}. Country: Country where the exchange rate was observed. Data source organization: The name of the organization that provided the data source document. Data source document: The name of the document used as the primary source of information or data. First: Period date for the first collection/reporting period in the data series. Last: Period date for the last collection/reporting period in the data series. Count: The number of data points in the data series.
