Data downloads to Excel spreadsheet files are now available in “.xlsx” format. Those files have two sheets: The sheet labeled “readme” has all the metadata information (i.e., series ID, name, units, frequency, seasonal adjustment, date of last update, and date of file download), and the sheet labeled with the data frequency has the observation dates and values. The structure of data downloads to CSV files hasn’t changed.
