Dear Koleti Vae'au,

Thank you for the supplied data. One of the key points that I was after was misinterpreted though.

The "total" column appears to be the total of the 3 categories listed. What I was requesting was the total of all payments so as to work out the percentages of these versus everything.

Yours sincerely,

Gold
