Hi!
I want to restrict the user to just be able to select one period at a time in one of my tables. I am using px-files. Is there a way I can do that ? 

Regards,
Semere

Hi,

I don’t think it is possible.  
Where would you need something like that. It certainly has to be something really weird.
Some one needs to explain the need of this ….

If you are for some reason mixing different time periods in one time variable … don’t do it!

HI,

I still wonder where you really would need something like this.
A timeseries where the series is not comparable?
Some kind of  mixed time variable?
Remember PxWeb is built for dissemination of aggregated statistical tables.

Your use case would be really interesting … If you send it to Oskari, I will get it …

Hi All,

Thank you for your replies. We have some timeseries data where the details are not comparable and better be presented that way. I will send details by mail.

Hi,

Usually when you have a timeseries that are not
comparable you usually keep them in different tables.
This makes it impossible to make wrong selections and graphs.

Of course you can make one timeseries and add all the metadata, but people will abuse this and make
graphs and tables with the timeseries.
NOTEX is a nice keyword if you want to make it clear for the user that this is not a normal timeseries.
NOTEX makes a forced note (text window) when you start selecting from a table. We use it when we
have messed up real good …
😉
