Here is an example of Time series:
There is a technical limitation in the Time series visualisation. The maximum amount of items displayable in the Time series filter dropdown is 10 000 items. This does not have impact, however, on the amount of keys displayable in the Time series table.
This limitation adds up to the interactivity limit (see this page).
Special values and Flags
Under the Time series table, the following items are always displayed:
Special values. Special values are values that can be present in the data cells. They do not represent statistical data, but they replace them. Existing special values are the following:
":": When the colon is present, it means that there is no data available in this cell. For example:
In this example, no data is available for Belgium (BE) in 2007.
Flags. Flags are metadata which provide additional information about a specific statistical data. When present, this additional information is required for a correct interpretation of the data. For example:
In this example, the statistical data of Bulgaria on 2018 (1 350.03) should be considered as provisional (because of the (p) flag).
Flags can be combined:
In this example, the statistical data for European Union in 2018 (446 598 937) should be interpreted as being estimated and provisional altogether.
