What is NZ.Stat?
NZ.Stat is a free web tool that has replaced Table Builder. NZ.Stat allows you to:
- create a table from large datasets
- find a dataset by browsing through themes or searching
- customise the table by selecting the variables you want and changing the table layout
- view metadata alongside the table
- download your table in Excel (up to 100,000 cells) or CSV format (up to a million cells).
NZ.Stat is powered by software provided by the OECD, which is also used by other statistical agencies around the world.
Table Builder will be decommissioned on 17 June 2013. The only tables still being updated in Table Builder are the exports and imports tables, which will also soon be moved to NZ.Stat.

Future developments
We are aiming to integrate Infoshare with NZ.Stat in 2014, so that you can access Infoshare data using NZ.Stat. We will also be providing more functionality, such as the ability to create your own custom queries that can be shared with colleagues, and machine-to-machine data transfer.
