Introduction to MacroView
Structural Business statistics
Road Transportation statistics
International Trade statistics
Before……..customer-tailored tools in a variety of standard software packages
Different variables…...but a lot of common functionalities
Idea: Implement these functionalities in a generic way such that they can be reused by different statistical departments
And many others....
Introduction to MacroView
- MacroView: Generic functionalities of macro-editing tools are implemented (and tested) once
- Scripts are used to combine these functionalities into a customer-tailored macro-editing tool
- Decisions about the functionalities needed were made based on:- Brainstorm and review sessions with analysts from various
statistical departments- A short literature review- Continuous feedback and requests from (new) users after the
launch of the first production version
Macro-editing functionalities supported by MacroView
Generic funtionalities are “building blocks” of all macro-editing tools built in MacroView.
Aggregation techniques
Data transformations
Options for linking datasets
Visualisation in grids and plots
Dynamic filter composition
Efficient recalculation after change in micro-data

Applications of MacroView– Structural Business Statistics
– Presenting a large number of variables at several different aggregation levels in a well organized way
– Short term Statistics– Dealing with a large number of micro-records (all VAT
data)
– Road transportation – Several other statistical departments already made a first step in using MacroView
Applications of MacroView
