9 years ago Clearly, we can only sum on the Summary table, but it's got to see how the export worked. Looks like there's an issue with how full_name is loaded on Expenditures

9 years ago Keep in mind also, when looking at the sums, that the filings include amended filings. One has to be careful to not over-count. If you have {filing_id=x,amend_id=0,amount=1000.00}, {filing_id=x,amend_id=1,amount=1500.00}, and {filing_id=x,amend_id=2,amount=2000.00}, the final amount used needs to be 2000.00, not 4500.00.
