If you spend your time dealing with time-series, dataZoa will improve your life substantially. Here's how to get the most from it:

Consider Using
Accuracy dataZoa uses links to data
Timeliness
Independence You are in full control; no waiting on Admins and Programmers
Productivity
Exposure Your work goes right where it is needed. Send that chart to the boss's phone, now.

Dealing with time series?
dataZoa has a radically different approach.

Here's what you need to know...


  • When you work with open data from Web sources (like the UN, EIA, BLS, Kids Count, etc.):



  • When you work with your own data series:
    • Your series are fully harmonized as well - they work together, along with Web data
    • As you add or update values, your calculations and displays update automatically.



  • More generally:
    • Save many, many, many, many, many, many hours of data drudgery
    • You never forget a thing - your table and charts are already updated
    • Your work goes right where you want it - phone, Web, email, blogs, open or restricted
    • No programming - if you can use a spreadsheet you can use dataZoa
