# Slight difference between Saiku stats and Excel

Asked by flandsberg on 2018-09-21

Hi,

I was checking my calculated field by comparing the average in Saiku versus in Excel. I filled 10 plots for the field to be calculated. I enter the same data in my Excel file too so I could compare between Saiku and Excel.

I always have a difference: The district average is 23.21% in Excel but 23.13 in Saiku; the average of one smaller administrative unit is 15.63% in Excel and 15.5% in Saiku. When I exclude the values for which I am not confident, the average is 25.03% in Excel and 24.83% in Saiku.

Any reason about these discrepancies? Anybody else noticed this?

Thanks,

Florence
