Simple Example

Similarly to the Census of Population data, we will need to use a spreadsheet to determine what variables to extract. Let's say we are interested in finding out the counts of farm operators by age ranges

2021 Variables	Categories	2021 Long description of the variables (EN)	2021 Description longue des variables (FR)
ageund35_n	Farm operators	Age: Under 35 years - Number of farm operators	Âge : Moins de 35 ans - Nombre d'exploitants agricoles
age3554	Farm operators	Age: 35 to 54 years - Number of farm operators	Âge : 35 à 54 ans - Nombre d'exploitants agricoles
ageov55_n	Farm operators	Age: 55 years and over - Number of farm operators	Âge : 55 ans et plus - Nombre d'exploitants agricoles
