Helping you get started
To help you understand and make best use of the Flexible Table Builder we have created a series of short videos to demonstrate how key aspects of the tool work.
Our help and support page also provides information on the statistical disclosure control approach taken to ensure we continue to protect the confidentiality of census data.
