Introducing Custom Series!

We are excited to now allow users to build their custom series by manipulating any of the data on IndiaDataHub. This feature allows you to combine upto six different indicators using any of BODMAS operators and create your own custom series which you can save for later use. You can create the series on the web or our excel plugin and access it from anywhere. However, any custom series you build will be accessible only to you.

You can use custom series for calculating weighted averages (CPI ex Vegetables) or market shares (share of SBI Cards in Credit cards) or ratios (say Credit to GDP). You can even build advanced series such as you can derive real interest rates by converting daily interest rates to monthly and then a custom series that subtracts this from CPI Inflation with YoY percentage function applied! You can even apply functions on top of custom series...

This video below gives you a quick overview of how to use custom series.

Custom series is live for Economic Monitor and will be rolled out to Mutual Funds database later this month. There you can build you can use custom series to calculate market share across fund houses or fund categories or relative growth in AUMs etc. You can even use it to simulate portfolio performances (a few units of scheme A + some units of scheme B + some units of scheme C etc) - although a separate portfolio tool is being built and will be rolled out along with equity market data.

We hope this is useful. Let us know any feedback or suggestions you may have.
