"Share Me the Data"

Here's the Comma separated Value text for CPI-U and PPI as promised in our earlier post.

It's not formatted in columns so it's hard to read. Try copying and pasting it into Excel and converting text to columns and see what new views of this important data you can come up with.

Let me know if you think this is helpful to you.
