Ah, I had my pdf viewer at too low a magnification and missed that m . Very weird. I wonder if it has anything to do with the two cells in "base year"? So far my experiments have not been useful so I may well be wrong
Re the 2 vs 3 digits, I am not sure but I suspect that using 2 & 3 digits in the same column is bad practice. Why is 1939 considered more accuate than the other years?
