The Data Download Program is designed to allow flexible access to data
produced by the Federal Reserve Board. Data associated with the
statistical releases listed are currently available. Data from other
releases will be added in the future.
There are a few other general points about the application to keep in mind as
you use it.
-
Designed for customized data downloads
The application was not designed for large data transfers. Downloading a
large number of series may affect performance.
-
One frequency per download
To limit download time and ensure usable output formats, the
application will only allow users to download data of a single frequency
(daily, monthly, quarterly, etc.) in a single output file.
-
Data are only available as currently published
There are no reporting, graphing, or analytical tools available in the
application. All data are reported as currently defined.
Pre-revision or real time data are not available.
-
Large files may cause problems for Excel
Excel has a limit of 256 columns. If a file downloaded in either the
Excel 2003 or CSV (comma-separated values) file type exceeds 256 columns, it
may not open correctly in Excel.
-
Package creation may take time
The application may require several minutes to create custom data
packages. In general, the more data you request, the longer it will take
the application to create your package.
-
Accessibility
The application is designed to be compatible with screen readers and includes
navigation that does not require the use of a mouse or monitor.
Information about specific steps of the download process is available
throughout the application by clicking the "Learn more" links on each
screen.
