When you are analyzing any particular economy trade. Do you look at Merchandise import or total import and similarly for export?
Thanks

The figures published by the government here in the UK are usually given as totals, but the breakdown is available for those who are interested. Because of the large amounts earned by financial transactions they often quote a separate figure for "invisibles".

Thanks Richard. Makes sense. I am using total value now

Griff's post below made me go to the first article I posted here (in October '12) and look at it's stats.
I planned this as a brief intro, and never expected a lot of people to be interested in it (somewhat like "a service to the minority who happens to share my interest").
Now that I looked at it again it has over 50'000 views and more than 3000 downloads, in addition to a 4.94 voting (taken from 25 voters) - Somethin I never expected, yet I'm happy with this nice feeling of appreciation.
What was the last time you felt really appreciated for something you posted at CP?
I will never again mention that Dalek Dave was the poster of the One Millionth Lounge Post, nor that it was complete drivel.

When - much to my surprise - I was nominated for, and then won the C# Article of the Month!
Now, that is a really good feeling: your peers like something you have done!

I didn't post anything worthy as of now IMO, but I have added 2 links(from tons of boring things) in my signature to make those popular like ....

Right now. This comment to you is the most I have ever contributed here. You're welcome.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

I know my article[^] is a lot older, originally posted in 2001 and last updated in 2007, but I think it is my best work here. 267,000+ views and 12,000+ downloads and counting.
Within you lies the power for good - Use it!

As much as I love you, I am having an affair with c#. You have given me very thing. The problem is people think I can do better with c#. Hope you will forgive me.

It's a rite of passage: from Junior School to The Big School. You can expect to feel a little apprehensive. Don't worry though, after a couple of weeks you will wonder why you worried, and how you ever coped with such a poor excuse for a language... 
(It's a joke: VB isn't that bad, it just shows its age and its "non-programmer" origins. And it has ON ERROR RESUME NEXT which should have it put down...)

Fortunately I never worked with VB enough to become infected with any VBTD's.

Me too. I was a prostitute once because I needed to feed my family, but I never felt clean after that.

Permissiveness may be a desirable in a first love; but it tends not to lead to meaningful long term relationships.
You'll never get very far if all you do is follow instructions.

It doesn't feel like it, but I joined this little site 5 years ago today - I can't remember why, it may have been to download, or maybe to post: it was too long ago!
My word this place has changed!
It's bigger, brighter, but Luc was a regular, Elaine also back in those days. More stupid questions, more stupid answers...
So, how's it been for you?

I joined the site on April 26th, almost two years ago. It was to download some associated Zip-File and I continued to use the account for downloads only for the continuing few months after. I have previously downloaded Zip files from here, but I must admit that I always used a trash email 
At some day in October '12 I decided to post my experience on Communication with an Arduino ATMega 2560 as an article. Of course I did a Rookie mistake - It was way too short. I can still remember the first three people I met: You, Mike Hankey and Dave Auld. I later then stumbled over the Lounge and became a more or less active poster. I submitted various articles, and deleted some of them because I felt like there are better examples for the given problem out there. I came up with 12 Tips until today, and wrote 4 articles, from the Arduino stuff over doubly linked lists and WPF Canvas drawing to the Git Guide to Workspaces (Which is the most successful one until today, and currently in competition to get a price as the "Best everything else Article" of March).
I still feel honored by the great Feedback I receive for some of my Articles, and frightened by human stupidity which is showing up at times. CodeProject is a great place, where Chris and the Staff give us an incomparable chance to present our ideas and solutions for sometimes tricky problems to a broad public audience.
The reason I'm still here? I like the Article system, and I'm currently working on my biggest Article yet. In addition, I feel like I can give back some of the help I received here during my early days in the industry.
Apart from that, I'd like to thank You, Mike and Dave for the warm welcome you gave me back then.
And for the sake of being a creepy mo'fo': I love you  <3 and I guess everyone here is happy that you stay with us.
