What is IEDATA?
IEData is a comprehensive database of thousands of time
series data accumulated from many sources including USDA, NASS,
Commitment of Traders (CFTC), Crop Production Supply &
Distribution (PSD), Energy, Weather, Futures and Transportation,
among others. Extracting data from all of our sources makes IEData
one of the most complete databases available for commodity
analytics.
The IEData add-in for
Microsoft ExcelTM is designed to give you access to all
of the data stored in the system from within the ExcelTM spreadsheet
or workbook. With
this add-in, you have access to thousands of time series, without
having to know where the data is stored, or the structure of the
data. For many of
our time series, we also compute weekly and monthly aggregates,
where applicable.
The core data is stored on
an Informa Economics’ database server with only a menu database
which needs to be installed locally on your computer or your company
network. The fast
response of the IEData add-in for ExcelTM allows you navigate the menu
system and pull requested data over the internet. A more advanced use of
IEData and the IEData add-in would be thru the use of macros and
custom spreadsheets to automatically request updated data with the
use of the IEData functions.
Currently, there are over 38,000 data
series with 440,000 points of information ranging from the actual
precipitation for wheat in Romania in 1965 to the latest beef
trimmings prices in Omaha or the latest barge movement of corn on
the Mississippi
River. With this vast database,
you can spend more time analyzing trends, etc.. rather than keying
in data.
The IEData add-in for
Microsoft ExcelTM and access to the IEData databases are available as
a Informa Economics’ client subscription. For more information, please
contact your Inforrma Economics
representative.
