FOREWORD 


This manual is the outcome of a joint effort by the Office of the Chief Government Statistician (OCGS), Zanzibar, 
and East AFRITAC to produce a user's manual for compiling the Consumer Price Index (CPI). The fundamental 
features and contents presented in this manual aim at strengthening the compilation of the CPI by using a 
system, known as the Price Index Processing Software (PIPS). 


This compilation software is essential for producing CPI estimates. Experience shows that every country within 
the region has its own CPI compilation program and mainly uses Microsoft Excel. Using the PIPS is an 
operational step for the CPI harmonization in the region. 


The Office of the Chief Government Statistician has worked closely with East AFRITAC to develop a simple 
user's manual for uploading Excel workbooks into the PIPS. The purpose of this manual is to help East African 
countries that intend to use the PIPS for compiling their CPI. Thus, I am pleased to introduce this Field Manual, 
prepared with assistance from the East AFRITAC Statistics Advisor, Dr. Shelley Winston. 


Indeed, the success of this publication stems from a concerted effort and cooperation among staff members 
from the Price Statistics Unit under the Economic Statistics Section of the OCGS, who piloted the PIPS for about 
three years. 


I would like to extend special thanks to the East AFRITAC Statistics Advisor for her encouraging role and great 
contribution to this endeavour with technical support, advice and encouragement.

PREAMBLE BY THE EAST AFRITAC COORDINATOR 


After years of testing the IMF-developed Price Index Processor Software (PIPS), the Zanzibar Office of the Chief 
Government Statistician (OCGS) decided to take the decisive step in 2010 to set up and use the PIPS for 
calculating the CPI. To pass on the knowledge it has gained in this process, the OCGS, with guidance from East 
AFRITAC, decided to document its experience by publishing this East AFRITAC field manual, with a view to 
helping other CPI compilers in the East Africa region and elsewhere. 


This field manual, “Uploading Excel Workbooks into the Price Index Processor,” aims to assist compilers who 
have already saved and formatted their data in Excel for their CPI calculation and who would like to import 
their data into the more robust PIPS. The PIPS is an application developed software, which simplifies sound CPI 
estimation, analysis, and report generation. The PIPS also follows international best practices for calculating 
CPIs. For example, the PIPS classifies the index according to the Classification of Individual Consumption by 
Purpose (COICOP). It promotes regional, items, and outlets price index calculations. More importantly, the PIPS 
estimates the indexes according to the Jevons (geometric mean) formula for the lower and higher lever indices. 


| hope that the PIPS will contribute to promoting international and regional consistency and harmonization in 
CPI methods, estimations, and calculations. Even for those statistical offices that do not use the PIPS, this 
software will at least provide the templates and guidelines for producing and calculating accurate, credible, 
reliable, and transparent CPIs. 


I would like to thank the following for drafting this Manual. Mr. Iddi Makame, from the Zanzibar Office of the 
Chief Government Statistician, who was the main author; Ms. Shelley Winston, East AFRITAC Statistics Advisor, 
for overseeing and providing technical advice and for ensuring quality. | also would like to thank the region’s 
statistics offices and the IMF Statistics Department for their valuable comments.

Introduction 


This Field Manual Uploading Excel Workbooks into the Price Index Processor tries to address the needs and to 
provide assistance to countries that have tried or will try to use the Consumer Price Index Price (CPI) Processor 
Software (PIPS). Therefore, this manual aims to provide easy to follow instructions for uploading already 
created Excel workbooks and databases that are formatted with expenditure shares, CPI outlets, products, 
varieties, and price information for uploading into the PIPS compilation system. 


This manual, hence, is to be used purely as a guide to accompany the Consumer Price Index Compilation 
System User Guide, (Price Index Processor Version II: Consumer Price Index, Revised Version, August 2009), 
which provides in-depth details, definitions, and explanations. Additionally, this manual assumes that CPI 
compilers are already familiar with the PIPS system. 


This Field Manual was drafted with screen shots or “Snapshots” taken directly from the PIPS to facilitate ease 
of understanding. There are three sections with sub-headings that proceed in a logical manner. Section I starts 
by demonstrating how to create a new CPI database, how to enter the areas covered, how to add outlet 
information, and how to enter weights. Section II describes how to append the worksheets created in Section I, 
how to enter products and varieties for each outlet, and how to enter price information. Section Ill concludes 
with reviewing item weight distribution and how to check for data consistency. 


The Price Index Processor Software is developed by the International Monetary Fund and has authorized the United Nations 
Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) Statistics Division, with whom the IMF has no other affiliation, to distribute the 
software. The IMF retains ownership rights to the original software. The IMF, the UNECE Statistics Division, and the East 
Africa Regional Technical Assistance Center assumes no responsibility to users for Support or maintenance and has 
disclaimed all liability for any errors that may exist in the software and for any other claims relating to the software. The 
PIPS was developed using standard Microsoft tools available to all users and only requires that users have licensed versions 
of Microsoft Office Suite.

16. To calculate the price index, prices are usually entered for each product at the variety level. Therefore, 
an Excel spreadsheet should have been created that has variety/ies assigned to each product. 
Varieties are usually found at level 8 of the COICOP hierarchal structure. For example, 11.01.11.1 01 
is the level 7 for rice, and 11.01.11.1 O1q, level 8 is one type of variety for rice (Snapshot 10).

a CPI basket that has three products (rice, beef and sugar) with total expenditure of 36,000 shillings, 
Snapshot 23. Note, rice accounts for 50 percent, beef, 22.2 percent, and sugar 27.8 percent. For these 
products, prices are collected from at least one of the three outlets (Shoppers 2001, 2002, 2003). 
There are three different varieties of rice: grades 1, 2, and 3, and only one variety of beef and sugar 
respectively. Therefore, Shoppers 2001 provides prices for grade 1 rice, beef, and sugar; Shoppers 
2002 provides prices for grade 1 and 2 rice, and sugar; and Shoppers 2003 provides prices for grade 1, 
2, and 3 rice only.

36. To determine how the weights are assigned to Shoppers 2001 (Snapshot 25) suppose the three 
outlets, Shoppers 2001, 2002, and 2003 provide prices for three products 


(rice, beef, and sugar) and all three outlets provide a price of 3,000 shillings for grade 1 variety rice. 
Then, based on the allocation mentioned in paragraph 35, the PIPS assumes Shoppers 2002 and 
Shoppers 2003 provide prices for grades 2 and 3 rice varieties, and Shoppers 2003 provides prices for 
all three grades of rice. Furthermore, Shoppers 2001 is the only outlet that provides a price for beef; 
hence it was allocated 8,000 shillings for beef. Shoppers 2001 and 2002 both provides price for sugar; 
therefore each outlet was attributed a weight of 5,000 shilling. See Table 2. 


Table 2: 


Rice Grade 1 | 3,000.00 3,000.00 | 3,000.00 aa

Sugar 1 Kg 5,000.00 5,000.00 aa 10,000.00 





37. As a result, the total OUTLET ASSIGNED WEIGHT for Shoppers 2001 is: 16,000 shillings.
