11 www.bea.gov 11 Option 2: Using the Multiplier Quick View

12 www.bea.gov 12 Launching the Multiplier Quick View One option for viewing your data is to use the Multiplier Quick View. This allows you to quickly view and access the RIMS II multiplier tables included in your order. To view multipliers using the Multiplier Quick View, click on the magnifying glass icon under the “Quick View” heading. If your order contains multiple regions or industries, there will be a separate Quick View icon for each region or industry you ordered.

13 www.bea.gov 13 Multiplier Quick View On the Multiplier Quick View page, you can view the composition of your region, your multiplier tables and the corresponding footnotes. You may also export the multiplier tables to Microsoft Excel. Click the “Quick View Help” button for additional information.

14 www.bea.gov 14 Quick View: Table Display Functions You may use Ctrl + C to copy cells, rows, and columns from the Multiplier Quick View. To copy the row and column headings with your data, highlight the heading along with the data and then use Ctrl + C. Note: You cannot paste information into the Multiplier Quick View.

15 www.bea.gov 15 Quick View: Displaying Region Composition To view the composition of your region, click on the “Region Definition” button in the upper left hand corner of the page.

16 www.bea.gov 16 Quick View: Displaying Region Composition Note: This button activates a pop-up containing the region definition. If you have blocked pop-ups on your computer, you will need to hold the Ctrl key while you click the “Region Definition” button to view this information.

Follow the prompts for opening or saving the table. Note: Exporting Tables 1.1, 1.2, and 1.3 (detailed multipliers for output, earnings, and employment for the 473 input-output industries) causes them to be transposed. This is because many types of spreadsheet software cannot accommodate the 473 columns that appear in the Quick View.
