Write a custom formula to transform one or more series or combine two or more series.

Type keywords to search for data

    Now create a custom formula to combine or transform the series.

    For example, invert an exchange rate by using formula 1/a, where “a” refers to the first FRED data series added to this line. Or calculate the spread between 2 interest rates, a and b, by using the formula a - b.

    Use the assigned data series variables (a, b, c, etc.) together with operators (+, -, *, /, ^, etc.), parentheses and constants (1, 1.5, 2, etc.) to create your own formula (e.g., 1/a, a-b, (a+b)/2, (a/(a+b+c))*100). As noted above, you may add other data series to this line before entering a formula.

    Finally, you can change the units of your new series.

    Notes:

    Federal Debt Held by Agencies & Trusts as Percent of Gross Domestic Product (HBATGDQ188S) was first constructed by the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis in October 2012. It is calculated using Federal Debt Held by Agencies & Trusts (FDHBATN) and Gross Domestic Product, 1 Decimal (GDP):
    HBATGDQ188S = ((FDHBATN/1000)/GDP)*100
    FDHBATN/1000 transforms FDHBATN from millions of dollars to billions of dollars.
