Hi,  
looking at Destatis data on national accounts, I found that some data are not up-to-date, for example :  
DESTATIS/81000BV008/DG.VGRJPM.X12ARIMAKSB.VGR026  
DESTATIS/81000BV008/DG.VGRPKM.X12ARIMAKSB.VGR026  
DESTATIS/81000BV008/DG.VGRPVK.X12ARIMAKSB.VGR026

Could you have a look at that ?  
Thank you for your help and all the stuff!  
Best

Hi Bruno,

Thanks for this report!

FYI, DESTATIS datafile for 81000BV006 dataset was last downloaded on 2019-06-06, although the update date found in DESTATIS datafile was 2018-11-23 (This date appear on DBnomics [dataset page](https://db.nomics.world/DESTATIS/81000BV008))

Could you give us more insights to help us solve the problem?

Regards  
Pierre Dittgen

Hi,  
thank you for your quick answer. When I retrieve data directly from Destatis, I get up-to-date figures (see attached file). One reason could be that they are updating their site, and that they may have created new tables :  
“National accounts - Use of the gross domestic product  
(nominal/price-adjusted): Germany, quarters, original/calendar- and seasonally adjusted values”  
is in a table with number 810000-0020.

Hi,

DBnomics retrieve DESTATIS data as datacubes from [GENESIS-Online Datenbank](https://www-genesis.destatis.de/genesis/online).

Destatis tables (as the one you sent as attached file) seem to be a different kind of entity. Do you know how to match datacube and tables to be able to compare similar data?

For data update, DBnomics download process is based on [Update Statistics info](https://www-genesis.destatis.de/genesis/online?Menu=Neu) to get fresh data when published.

Hi,  
sorry I don’t know how to match these data, but it sounds like the cube you download from Destatis is not up-to-date. for example I checked another series : DESTATIS/81000BV004/DG.BV4SB.ABG002  
Destatis gives data until 2019-Q1 whereas DBNOMICS’ last figure is for 2018-Q3
