| Universal comment | The differences shown in the sheet for the "Check total Race LB" and "Check total Sex LB" is due to the added data under the "unknown gender" category. The Unknown gender category was added due to it being on the SAS data file but the excel sheet does not include it in the automatic calculation it does in the "Totals" tab because the "unknown gender" category is newly added. |
