Thanks! I agree that Github/Bitbucket may be too technical for many to contribute (although you can edit files there directly on the web, even without using git at all), but downloading is actually easier than through all these file hosting services.

I've now updated the spreadsheet with the new 2013 Yearbook data, therefore it now contains 26 years of statistics.
As before, there are two files for download, the second being the more useful one to most of you.

As before, the second .xls file has each statistic field in a separate tab with each year in a column, and is far more useful for year-by-year graphs etc. I've also included the additional sheets on the end, giving examples of the sorts of calculations that are possible with the data (e.g. Bible Studies per Publisher).

Nothing leaping out at me yet, beyond what's been said already. Must be the first year I've seen where there are hardly any country name changes, or merging/splitting. Let's hear it for world peace!
Eastern europe is definitely stagnating/in decline for the JW's:
Latvia: -2%
Poland: -1%
Croatia: -1%
Moldova: -1%
Estonia: -1%
Bosnia and Herzegovina: -1%
Greece: -1%
Hungary: 0% (decreased)
Czech Republic: 0% (decreased)
Germany: 0% (decreased)

Something's fishy with the numbers for the Faroe Islands again (108 to 11 publishers, -8 % ...). Looks like they're mixed up with the Falklands.
Didn't do a thorough check, it's just one thing that stood out.
There are also some suspicious blanks on the baptisms sheet. Sweden in 2006 for instance. I can't find the other now.

For the "leavers" statistics, how did you calculate that? Is it the number baptized minus increased number of publishers? Does it take deaths rates into consideration?
