Of course you may produce SDMX-ML files by your own means. After copying your data in the Excel file (follow instructions in sheets), save it using the Export command in the XML group on the Developer tab – do not rename the file as its structure is important for the transfer via eDamis Use the last version MS-Excel Spreadsheet not the one saved on your drive Of course you may produce SDMX-ML files by your own means.

In case of old version of excel, if you don’t find the Developer tab in your Excel, here is the way how to add it: 1. 2. Unit E1 - Agriculture and Fisheries Unit E1 - Agriculture and Fisheries
