Re: Latest Total Weekly Deaths Ages 15-44 England and Wales

I have the following figures to report...........
Just noticed your figures. They look too small, so I checked a few. I think they're about 1/4 of what they should be. Here are a couple of examples of the correct (I believe) 15-44 age group deaths -
2019 - 14,714
2020 - 15,623
You didn't say where you got your numbers or how you totalled the age group you were interested in. The figures are here -

then you just use the Sigma function to add up the rows/columns you're interested in. It's interesting that everyone who replied was happy to take the figures at face value.
I have used the same as your apparent link which is an excel sheet for all years for appropriate weeks 1-16, ages 15-44. I haven't used any fancy formulas just relying on brain power and adding up. Have checked the whole year for 2019 and the weeks are generally in the 200-300 range, similar for 2020. So even just making an estimate can't imagine where your figures come from.Can't paste the download but am happy and stand by my figures which aren't just 2.
..... I haven't used any fancy formulas just relying on brain power.....Hahaha. I won't be explaining.
