go back and look at the past years 10k's and reconcile between what the historical number is eval has and the financial statements in the 10k. Just play around with the numbers until you figure out what eval include or doesn't include. Also, click on the line item in eval and a word document will pop up with a brief explanation of how to calculate said line item. I would mainly worry about making your BS balance and the numbers roughly the same as the ones you'll find on AMD's financial statements.

ok, so i input the data for 04 and 05, but it's showing the following years to be 1900, 1901, 1902, etc.
