Hey Marlene!
I haven't gone back to check the equation against those CBCs for which I actually have absolute retic reported, but I'm not surprised it is a bit off. I'm not really sure whether the labs that report absolute retic are calculating the number from the percentage or developing the percentage from a count.
Take care!
Greg
