Dear Google Trends and everyone else who can help,

So I have been downloading some data in the .csv format in FIXED mode.
I downloaded most of my data on Monday, and then I went to double
check one of my files (just to make sure I had not downloaded to wrong
file), and to my surprise, the data had changed! So I thought maybe I
had made a mistake...so I re-downloaded data for Texas, US over all
the years available, made sure that I used fixed mode and the number
matched up. The following day, I went to re-check the data, and the
data provided for that day had changed again and did not match up with
the one I downloaded previously! (Try it for yourselves).

What is going on here? Why is that happening? Can someone please
explain why? In fixed mode, shouldn't the data remain the same over
time because it's comparing to a fixed average in January 2004
(usually)?

Thank you so much!

That's pretty strange. I'll try to replicate it myself.
I would also be interested to know why this would happen.

Hi,

Did you find the same thing happened?
