As for getting a complete database, you can probably forget that. You can manually copy everything, but good luck with that. Obviously ioi could decide to give it to you, but with only 2 posts and no information about you, unless you have a really really good reason why would he?

As for the regions. America is all of the Americas (both north and south). Others is all other African/Asian markets not accounted for by the other regions. I may be off, but I believe that is correct.

Also, the European sales may be more consistent because it appears that they are getting close to meeting demand across Europe. If demand is met every week, then you can expect typical sales, rather than erratic sales that depend on shipments.

 

Other being the African/Asian markets does make sense. I just find it odd that the sum of all regions matches up perfectly with the total sales. There's usually an unexplained difference between the two because of the complexities involved with gathering data and estimations. This leads me to believe that the Other category is indeed the rest of the world, but that sales for this are calculated as a residual, there is no actual sales data for this category.

 

You did a poor job of explaining what you mean.

Why shuld there b a difference between sum of all regions and total sales? Wouldnt u think that total sales is the product of adding the regional sales together?

Or do u suggest the total sales number comes from somewhrere else, and if so... where???

Anyway, you have a point about a residual category, but explain yourself first.
