Using proportional numbers, figures don't always line up cleanly in data columns:
| Net Sales by Operating Segment | 2010 | Change | 2009 | Change | 2008 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Americas | $24,498 | 29% | $18,981 | 15% | $16,552 |
| Europe | 18,692 | 58% | 11,810 | 28% | 9,233 |
| Japan | 3,981 | 75% | 2,279 | 32% | 1,728 |
| Asia-Pacific | 8,256 | 160% | 3,179 | 18% | 2,686 |
| Retail | 9,798 | 47% | 6,656 | (9)% | 7,292 |
| Total | $65,225 | 52% | $42,905 | 14% | $37,491 |
With tabular figures, numbers display consistently within columns:
| Net Sales by Operating Segment | 2010 | Change | 2009 | Change | 2008 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Americas | $24,498 | 29% | $18,981 | 15% | $16,552 |
| Europe | 18,692 | 58% | 11,810 | 28% | 9,233 |
| Japan | 3,981 | 75% | 2,279 | 32% | 1,728 |
| Asia-Pacific | 8,256 | 160% | 3,179 | 18% | 2,686 |
| Retail | 9,798 | 47% | 6,656 | (9)% | 7,292 |
| Total | $65,225 | 52% | $42,905 | 14% | $37,491 |
