91 of 94 figures sit in a row or column sum that works out. 2 cells break a sum: 'Decisions and orders by the Bo', column 3: prints 258, columns 4 to 13 add to 257; 'Initial ULP decisions', column 3: prints 167, columns 4 to 13 add to 166.
p. 99. Grid is 14 columns: stub + "Cases in which formal actions taken" + 12 columns under the spanner "Formal actions taken by type of case" (Total formal actions taken, 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). Several cells are printed as a double-hyphen dash rule ("--") rather than a figure, meaning not applicable; following the convention for dash rules these are transcribed as "". They occur in: row "10(k) notices of hearings issued" (all value columns except "Cases in which formal actions taken" = 33, "Total formal actions taken" = 30 and CD-Jurisdictional disputes = 30); row "Complaints issued" (CD-Jurisdictional disputes); row "Backpay specifications issued" (CD-Jurisdictional disputes). The caption carries a superscript footnote marker 1 ("Fiscal Year 2009^1"), but no footnote text appears within this crop; the caption itself is omitted per instructions. The table body ends at a rule at the bottom of the crop and almost certainly continues on the following page (no grand "Court" / injunction sections are shown here). No digits were doubtful. As a check, every printed total is internally consistent: the type-of-case columns sum to "Total formal actions taken" in each data row (e.g., Board decisions row 217+10+3+9+1+6+11+1 = 258), and each "total" row equals the sum of its indented sub-rows in both the "Cases" and "Total formal actions" columns (176 = 159+9+8; 194 = 164+7+23; 600 = 71+0+90+0+0+373+1+32+33; 258 = 16+0+47+0+0+167+1+14+13). No misprints detected. The row label "Adopting administrative law judges’ decisions (no exceptions filed):" wraps over two printed lines and uses a typographic apostrophe as printed; it is joined here into one label and the extra inter-word spacing from justification has been normalized to single spaces.
