In this case, it is necessary to tell that the heading for the two observation columns is ''Year'', because this heading is used as index name (with locations 2000 and 2001).

Example: 

<t2b index="Year,Country" unit="#" obs="Mortality">

12001Finland1000
22002Finland2000
32001Sweden900
42002Sweden800

Notes:

  • index argument defines indices of the datatable:
    • example has 2 indices: Year and Country
    • it is obligatory to have at least 1 index
  • unit defines the unit of the variable
    • it is obligatory to define unit
  • obs defines the name of the result column
    • obs is optional
    • if not defined default value "Result" is used
  • Data is saved only when table is altered and page is saved
  • Number of data columns must match to number of indices + result column
  • Each row must have equal number of columns
  • Table caption is a link to Base UI


Hints for spreadsheet software

If you have your data table in Open Office Calc, Excel, or some other software, you can use these formulas to convert tables into Table2Base code. This example is for Excel, other software may have slightly different syntax. Here, the data is in the spreadsheet in columns A...D. Columns A...C contain index values and column D observations. The first row contains index names and rows starting from row 2 contain data.

Formula for the first row
="<tb2 index="&CHAR(34)&A1&","&B1&","&C1&CHAR(34)&" unit="&CHAR(34)&"kg"&CHAR(34)&" obs="&CHAR(34)&D1&CHAR(34)&">"
Formula for the second row and beyond
=A2&"|"&B2&"|"&C2&"|"&D2
