The minimum field requirements in the data frame are; value, count, area_code, indicator, timeperiod, polarity, significance, area_type. See below for the definitions of these fields
indicator	unquoted field name for the field of the field containing the indicator labels. Take care as errors will occur where indicator labels are the same but data exist for multiple sub-categories (for example, sex or age)
