Available Transformations


To use a Transformation, please always specify the Code on the left Side to the Table, possibly with required Parameters.
If you want to apply several Transformations, please separate them with a Space (using the Space Key).

Examples:
1. Applying an Interpolation with Linear Calculation of the missing Values: IPOL(LIN)
2. First Moving Average over 3 Periods, then Percentage Change against previous Year: MAVG(3) PYOY
3. Basing on January 2015: INDX(1'2015)
