the pivot report found some interesting information. The one thing i found is that the numbers from the chart and the numbers from the pivot report dotn add up at all. Many numbers are missing from the pivot report that made it look that the report was imcomplete. The numbers also did not ad up and only the U.S. total was foud in all parts. No other number appeared and may of the numbes that did appear were 1 or 2 and nothing else. They also had so much blank numbers in the pivot report as well.
