Data cycle |
You can select “Month”, “Quarter”, “Calendar year” and “Fiscal year” for the data cycle. The cycle studied will differ depending on the indicator. (Only cycles in which data exist can be selected.) |

---|---|---|
Regional rank | Time series |
Transitions to the screen for a chart with multiple time points for the 1 specified region (time series chart). For anything other than “Nationwide (Japan)”, a separate window will display to select the region. The region studied will differ depending on the indicator. (Only regions in which data exist can be selected.) |
By region |
Transitions to the screen for a chart with multiple regions for the 1 specified time point (by region chart). A single time point can be selected by clicking on the bar chart in a time series chart. [④ Chart type switching buttons for details] The region studied will differ depending on the indicator. (Only regions in which data exist can be selected.) You can specify a region you want to display in the chart by country, prefecture and city by clicking the Select button. |
|
Original/Seasonally adjusted |
You can change original/seasonally adjusted figures. Original figures are the original numerical values that have not been adjusted for seasonal variation. Seasonally adjusted figures are numerical values from which variation due to seasons (things that have annually similar trends caused by the season) has been removed from the original figures. Seasonally adjusted figures are not studied for some items depending on the indicator. (This can only be changed when data exist.) |
You can select only 1 choice from 7 choices, not 1 selection from each, for regional rank (time series) and regional rank (by region).
Regional rank (time series) displays in the time series chart while regional rank (by region) displays in the by region chart.
The selection is linked to ③ Chart navigation.
Region name, data cycle and original/seasonally adjusted as selected in the chart title and also the ① ”Data Change” menu are displayed. Also, the chart time point is displayed for by region charts.
Displays whether data is held for each indicator, data cycle and regional rank.
You can switch to each data holding status by clicking the “Original” and “Seasonally Adjusted” tabs.
Regional rank for data held in each data cycle and each indicator is different as shown by “Data holding status for each indicator linked to the chart” in ② Chart title labels.
Chart navigation displays the regional rank and the chart type (time series or by region) on the screen currently displayed in an easy to see format.
The background color of each cell can be blue, representing the current region, white, showing it can be switched, and gray, showing it cannot be switched. Whether it can be switched depends on the data cycle selected at the ① ”Data Change” menu and the indicator currently selected at the ⑦ Indicator selection menu. When selecting multiple indicators, if all the indicators do not have a “✔” in the “Data holding status for each indicator linked to the chart” table as shown in ② Chart title labels, switching will not be possible. When switching is not possible, review the indicator data holding status and data cycle. Chart navigation are not buttons and no changes (switching) will occur when clicking them. However, they are linked to the ① ”Data Change” menu, ④ Chart type switching buttons and the ⑤ Regional rank switching buttons. (Details of the links are explained at each item)
Allow you to switch between the time series chart and by region chart. “Time series” is selected by default.
When transitioning to “By region”, you must select 1 time point.
A single time point can be selected by clicking an element on the bar chart or on a line chart in a time series chart.
※ If you do not select 1 time point, it will show that “latest” is selected (furthest time point on the right of the time series chart).
When transitioning to “Time series”, you must select 1 region.
A single region can be selected by clicking on the bar chart element in a by region chart.
※ If you do not select 1 region, it will show “Nationwide” is selected for By Prefecture and the “region on the left side of the chart” is selected for By Country or By City.
Switching from “Time series” → “By region” supports transitions to the right from the position currently displayed in the chart navigation
(“Each country” → “By country”, “Each prefecture” → “By prefecture”, “Each city” → “By city”).
However, there is no position to the right of “Nationwide” (JPN.) so it switches to “By prefecture”.
Switching from “By region” → “Time series” switches to the region displayed in the region field below the chart switching buttons.
If you click an element in the bar chart with 1 region selected,
the position switches to the left from the position currently displayed in the chart navigation
(“By country” → “Each country”, “By prefecture” → “Each prefecture”, “By city” → “Each city”).
If you click an element in the bar chart with no region selected, switching will occur as below.
“By country” → “Country at left side of chart”
“By prefecture” → “Nationwide” (JPN.)
“By city” → “City at left side of chart”
Allow you to switch the regional rank (Each country, Japan, Prefecture, City) in the chart displayed currently.
The buttons have the same function as the Regional rank (Time series) and Regional rank (By region) buttons in the ① “Data Change” menu, and are shortcut buttons for these functions.
The functions are also similarly linked to ③ Chart navigation.
The button to raise regional rank switches the position currently displayed in chart navigation in the upwards direction.
If the current chart shows “Time series”, it switches to the one above. However, if it is “Nationwide” (JPN.), it switches to “By country”.
If the current chart is “By region”, it switches to the top rank “Time series” chart. (If it is “By city”, it switches to the top rank prefecture.)
The button to lower regional rank switches the position currently displayed in chart navigation in the downwards direction.
If the current chart is “Time series”, it switches to the bottom rank “By region” chart.
However, if it is “Each country”, it switches to “Nationwide” (JPN.).
If the current chart shows “By region”, it switches to the one below.
However, if it is “By country”, it switches to “Nationwide” (JPN.).
