Hi All,
I'm a little late to the party but I thought I'd pass along an updated version of the spreadsheet to Pravin. I was able to clear up some confusion in the 7.24.06 and 7.31.06 data. I highlighted where I'd made name or occupation changes (unless the occupation change was very slight) as well as tried to unify the naming/organization of the list.
The news of note is that there were 4 pages in the second set of 7.31.06 data that were not included in the spreadsheet -- presumably because there were blank entries in the original. These data have been added. That would raise the amount by $50,300, but due to another typo in the 7.31.06 data (a $4,200 was put down for a $2,000), the updated total is actually $1,391,450.
For some reason my state-by-state undercounts CT contributions by $4,000 (bug in the SUMIF function?), but otherwise appears to be correct.
I've included corrections only for those entries which I was able to find confirmation in public records or online -- for instance, there's no William Mayal listed on the Park Ave. Equity webpage, but there is a William Mayer, who's the founder.
Also, there might be a mistake in the handwritten original 7.24.06 data: the contributions by Maurice Katz and Stanley Katz appear twice, for the same amounts, on the same day. I assume the contributions made a week later are legitimate since the amounts are different, but those?

As an aside, I was surprised by how many people gave multiple times in this short timeframe. By my count, 34 people gave twice, and 6 gave three times. I have no experience with this sort of thing; is that normal?
vyncent, you may have inadvertently double counted some of that data.
Pravin and I reviewed one case in point last night where the folks at the Lieberman campaign duplicated pages in the report.
