112 of 115 figures sit in a row or column sum that works out.
p. 118. Grid is 14 columns: stub, "Cases in which formal actions taken", "Total formal actions taken", then the 11 type-of-case columns (CA, CB, CC, CD-Jurisdictional disputes, CD-Unfair labor practices, CE, CG, CP, CA combined with CB, C combined with representation cases, Other C combinations). Column assignment was checked arithmetically: in every data row the 11 type-of-case cells sum exactly to the "Total formal actions taken" cell (e.g. Complaints issued 2,919+149+37+1+4+7+37 = 3,154; Decisions and orders by the Board, total 569+43+3+8+1+8+44+3 = 679; Initial ULP decisions under Contested 378+22+1+8+7+29+1 = 446). No printed total appears to be in error. Cells printed as a long dash rule (—) are transcribed as "" per instructions; these occur in the 10(k) notices row, in the CD-Jurisdictional disputes column of several rows, and in the "CA combined with CB" and "C combined with representation cases" columns of the "Initial ULP decisions" row under Decisions by administrative law judges. The footnote line at the foot of the page is clipped by the bottom edge of the crop: only the upper portion of the letters is visible. It reads as the standard "1 See Glossary for definitions of terms."; the tail of the line is partly cut off, so the exact final wording is inferred from the visible letter tops rather than fully legible. The caption carries a raised footnote marker 1 ("Fiscal Year 1996^1"), but the caption itself is excluded from the grid per instructions. No row label or data value in the body carries a footnote marker.
