Source for Monthly RPIX Data

JayBrun

I used to download RPIX data from 'http://www.statistics.gov.uk/statbase..... ' which included what I believe would be termed a weighted figure.
The last figure I have being for March in the region of 230+.

The location of this data seems to have changed and I can't find an alternative source.

I would appreciate advice on where I can download this information on a monthly basis.

They've hidden it in this huge 1.2MB Excel spreadsheet.

http://www.ons.gov.uk/ons/rel/cpi/consumer-price-indices/august-2011/cpi-and-rpi-detailed-reference-tables.xls

For some reason the table opens at tab 'Table 16'. I think the info you want is under Table 38.

If you don't have Excel, I find that openoffice (available free) can cope with it.

HTH


EDIT, you'll need to find the new one each month - but faily obvious from the RPI/CPI pages if you know its the "CPI and RPI Detailed Reference Tables" spreadsheet you need

You're a gentleman.

They never seem to make these things easy.

Thank You

There's an easier link here:

http://www.ons.gov.uk/ons/datasets-and-tables/data-selector.html?cdid=CHAW&dataset=mm23&table-id=2.1

though quite why they've chosen to intersperse the monthly figures with the quarterly ones is beyond me!

I tried Googling for 'RPI and RPI Detailed Reference Tables' and it links directly to the current download so I suspect I'll manage henceforth.

Failing that I think the data I need is referred to as 'CZVL' and I'm sure I'll be able to locate updated versions within the site as needed.

Thanks again.

Edit: That is until they decide to re-hash everything again
