The direct links to the tables in the old server don´t work any more and they need to be changed to a new server. The changes that take place in the service require no other actions from the users. The basic use of the service remains almost unchanged even though the user interface changes slightly.
The change is based on a version updated in the PX-Web server application. With the new version the user can, for example, save selected data in newer file formats than before (e.g. Excel xlsx and json-stat). Development work continues and in future users will, for example, be able to save and reuse their searches. We will provide more information about this and other new functionalities later this year.
All feedback and development ideas are much appreciated.
More information concerning technical changes is available from Hans Baumgartner (hans.baumgartner@stat.fi) and on issues concerning content from Sari Vahala (sari.vahala@stat.fi).

However, the changes are not significant and have no effect on the interpretation of the time series or the image of economic trends. In the following, database tables published with the old base year (2005=100) will no longer be updated.

28.6.2011 Data of the Volume Index of Industrial Output for January to April 2011 have been corrected
An error has been detected in the calculation of the Volume Index of Industrial Output, which has an effect on the previously published volume index figures for January to April 2011. The erroneous figures for the early part of the year have now been corrected to the statistical releases and databases and to the data files delivered to customers.
The error has no effect on the image of economic trends given by other statistics, such as the Quarterly National Accounts or the Trend Indicator of Output.
The error is caused by that the revision in the weight structure at the turn of the year has not become updated to the calculation system. For that reason, enterprises' weights by size category inside three-digit industries have remained erroneous in the calculation of the index.
The table below contains the corrected and previously published erroneous data of the most important industries.

More detailed description of the statistics is available at http://tilastokeskus.fi/meta/til/atoi_en.html. Changes in gross value at the most detailed classification level have been divided by change in the producer price index of each industry concerned. The preliminary annual change of the monthly index has been revised with the obtained coefficient.
10.12.2009
The Bulletin of Statistics Internet database service data has been revised to match with the Bulletin of Statistics Publication. In consequense of this revision the amount of data in some of the tables in Bulletin of Statistics has been reduced.
