Instant switch JPY⇔Vol
One click switches the same chart between value and volume.
See the same trade flow in value and in volume.
Keep every filter exactly as it is, country, time period, HS code, and simply switch the chart from value (JPY) to volume, or back again. This gives you a simple but powerful analytical tool: the ability to check both how much was imported and what it was worth, for the exact same product and time frame, instantly.
Understand what's really behind a change
If volume suddenly rises, is it because the product simply got cheaper, so buyers imported more of it? Switching to the value chart for the same period helps you check that possibility immediately.
Compare your competitiveness against other countries
Select your country alongside a competitor's, and switch between value and volume to see if prices moved at the same pace, or diverged. Has your product become more or less price-competitive compared to a specific competitor or is the difference actually driven by volume, not price at all?
See the two dimensions of any import together
Every import has both a volume and a value. Viewing both back-to-back for the same filtered data gives a fuller read on what happened than either number alone.
No need to build a second chart
Because your filters carry over automatically, you don't need to reconstruct your selection to check the other measure, it's the same analysis, just viewed from a different angle
Faster hypothesis-testing
Notice something interesting in one view? Confirm or rule it out in the other view in a single click, rather than pulling separate data or reports.
